regarding how long jin lasts. Generalizations: older wood is generally harder and therefore will last longer as jin than younger or fast growing wood. Preservatives can and should be used to preserve jin/shari as the wood becomes punky. Recommendations include wood hardeners and wooden boat epoxy (git rot).
