Title: g3/4/kashmire blank i had bit of a makeover
Post by: Simmy on March 09, 2011, 09:55:02 PM: Got this bat about 5 months ago...

never used it just knocked it not really what grade or bat it is but it has a nice middle just a poor handle but not spending 30-40 quid on a new handle when bat only cost 40 quid..

so few hours with the sander in the garage
and some hunts county stickers so put the two 2gether came out pretty well!

Post by: tommo256 on March 10, 2011, 11:55:42 AM: Like I've got an old bat at home, GN scoop, and I've sanded it down with a power sander thing then took to it with brute force and still can't pull white wood out, maybe just be the bat is that old or

i had oiled it and it went an awfull colour far to dark probs but to much oil on it.

only took few hours.
