I found this article very informative on the materials of bokken and jo, something that would be very helpful if you are looking for your own practice weapons.

For my bokken I have hickory (obviously impact) and my jos are white oak. I've used other woods at times, but these are the ones that don't let me down. The oaks are core oak and not just kashi though.
