makiwara and kanji question

**Permalost** · Posted On: 5/02/2009 1:26am

I'm building a makiwara in my backyard, and I'm also starting to get into wood burning, so a friend suggested I try to burn some kanji into the base of it. I only want to do it if it's something funny or clever though. I was thinking "Bird feeder under construction" or "break knuckles here". If anyone can show me the characters or has any good ideas I'd appreciate it.

Sorry, sounds like a fine idea but I'm not very funny.

How 'bout:

"Board not hit back!"

"Board not for breaking"

if it's really going to be clever in kanji, it will probably not seem so clever in english and vice versa. only a native speaker or really advanced student will be able to come up with anything good.

yeah, and I doubt anyone like that would even get to see it.
