Nice job there mate! Looks pretty bulky for a sub 2'8 bat...

Did you polish/buff the bat? Can't really tell from the pictures. The grey on the bottom of the face (near the toe) isn't easy to get rid of completely, right?

Dave, only picked up the bat this evening & got cracking on the refurb.  Not had chance to get mallet on it

Removed stickers & face sanded grade 80 240 & 320.

applied face & re-applied stickers. wasn't sure whether to keep blank or reapply stickers.

Need a light oil to exposed parts.

Can't remove grey at bottom think it looks worse in photos

Had a quick tap up in the kitchen, sounds ok with an old ball I had & the mallet
