9/8th's inch poplar core for 28 and 22 inch stick Failure (Gorilla Glue Overdose)

I would keep working on this 9/8th inch poplar core design, except for the heft is like Nihonzashi's Padded Wakizashi and not as light as padded Rattan. This failed probably because of Gorllia Glue, might have succeeded with double sided tape instead.
