Recently, for a school project, i had to build something during the year. As a badminton maniac, i decided to build a wood badminton racket as the old ones. I made it in mapple and i peint it with car peint It weights about 196 g and there's 15lbs tensions on the strings I didn't have tim yet to try it in game but ill try it soon and ill give you some feedbacks on it. I just hope that it wont break!

That is good woodworking skill! What part of Quebec are you from? Victoriaville where they make hockey sticks? The great thing about a wooden shaft is that you could always sand it down to your desired flexibility.
