Plastic is less abrasive than wood. And yeah a Bo Hi is a waste of time in a bokken, because Bo His are there to give a smoother cut, and you can't cut anythign with a bokken except styrofoam...and even that just gets beaten until it falls apart LOL. Plus, not all Iaido schools use Iaito. Some use shinken. I just bought a cheap $10 century bokken made out of red oak. it works great.
