Makiwara is a great training tool. Tips:
1. Take it easy to start with.
2. Do not train once the knuckle skin has come away. This will stop you training for quite some time.
3. Build up the power it is essential you do not damage your knuckles.
4. As you hit focus in the tanden and on dropping your weight down.
5. Use various techniques not just punching. Elbows, ridgehand, knifehand, backfist, etc, etc.
6. Also kicks.
7. Concentrate on your technique.
8. Find someone that can teach you to use the makiwara. It is the best way for you to get the most from it.

Here's a good quote from Chibana Chosin:
"To achieve this goal takes long, constant and careful practice; overdoing things will only result in harm"
Funakoshi had a good one, but I forget exactly how it went. It was something along the lines of that it is foolish to be proud of blood blisters that develop from overuse of the makiwara and that many high school and college students, hating to lose, would press on. Their hands would become covered in blood and while their spirit is commendable, they can not help but to throw lighter and lighter punches.
