This shape was designed by Terra pro team member Rodney Ansell, who has been honing his skills turning kendamas for over 5 years now. Each one is hand-turned by Rodney in our Vancouver workshop, made to order just for you. After many years playing and creating kendamas at the highest level, Rod has learned what makes a solid and dependable setup that will help you lace even your toughest tricks.
