I made my own makiwara too. It was fun to do and far cheaper than buying one. I also helped my instructor to make a couple for our karate dojo. They cost about £4-5 each to make.

Another idea is to totally go another way and wrap a rectangle of rough carpet to a punch/kick bag. I am referring to the hard, straw-type of carpet you normally use to wipe your feet on, on a doorstep. Use the reverse side as it is a bit smoother but the effect is correct.
