I just wanted to see what all you've done with your equipment that's creative. I've heard of people making things out of their old shinai staves or making your own tsuba or things like that. Also, I'm thinking about sanding a design into my Bokken, but I'd have to ask my sensei what he thinks about that first. I dont know if this would be considered disrespectful to my weapon. I'm decent at art and I'm always trying to customize my belongings to reflect me personally, therefore I also want to do this to my bokken. Does anyone advise against this??
