These wooden swords are functional and decorative. Most of our swords are designed for active use practicing western marshall arts, and all are beautiful enough to be displayed on the wall. |
Caring for your Waster |
| Your waster is hand made and the wood is hand chosen in an attempt to help the waster resist the damage that is inevitable if it is used in any form of practice that entails hard contact with other wasters, as well as shields, armour, and pells. The waster will eventually break. When it will break is impossible to predict and depends on how often and vigorously the waster is used and whether or not it is being used appropriately, and as intended. As you use your waster, please check it often for cracks or splinters. Do not use a cracked waster. If your waster has any splinters, sand them down gently and then coat the sanded area with polyurethane. The waster should be lightly sanded and re-coated with polyurethane over its entire length periodically to keep it smooth and moisture resistant. Only use polyurethane to coat your waster unless you sand the entire surface clean. Most other coatings will not adhere well to polyurethane. |
