I like equipping recruits with various wooden weapons and then order them to beat naked goblins and gazelles to death.  Skills them up fast.

I like sticking wooden weapons in weapon traps- next to deep pits.

You can also trade them, which is what I also often do.

some people use them as training swords but there's no real reason now to do so.

This is an exceptional obsidian statue of Daral Darkscab.
The item is an exceptionally designed image of Daral Darkscab the dwarf and a slag bar (massive) in obsidian by Ksoth Lolorumril. Daral Darkscab is raising the slag bar (massive). The artwork relates to the masterful slag bar (massive) created by the dwarf Daral Darkscab for the Corridor of Matyrs at Monstergores in the late spring of 312.

I'm so glad my masons have chosen to memorialize the really important events.

Wooden weapons are pretty useless - its risky to train your dwarves with them incase they get attached to a -willow longsword- and can't kill a damned thing in the fortresses' times of need.

You know you can always remove attached items right? All you need to do is change the uniform to not allow that weapon/armor (by choosing a different one), wait for them to drop it, then forbid it and change their uniform back. No mood penalties either.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

I did not, no. I presumed that once they were attached to a weapon, that was it - they wouldn't use another. Well, this has been enlightening. Thanks.
