Well kept pesstering Ryan to finish my bat :)
picked up the stickers from my mate yesterday
so put the two 2gether and took some shots
finish isnt 100% fantastic because i made ryan rush a little bit as i wanted to try it out :)
but still over the moon with the bat!
considering this is only his second bat he has made and his first bat with convaving(other than the test kasmire plank) its amazing!
let the pics do the talking!!

Looks huge that mate. Top effort by ry as well. It might just be your pics or my eyes but the shoulders look a bit uneven ???
Nevertheless a fantastic job for his second g1 bat.

...now going back to the 'Handcrafted' versus 'Handmade' debate, then surely this bat fits into the former category?
For the record I don't really care which terminology is used! Just throwing it out there!
Bat looks great by the way, and final version of the stickers are pretty sweet!
-
Man-- it is huge; the spine looks like a submarine. Awesome stuff!!
-
Comes in at 2.12oz with 70mm spine and 25mm edges. Soulders are square btw pidge, just the binding makes them look off on facebook.
-
2.12 is good weight for that size bat :D bet you're pleased with it mate. Are there pics on fb?? I just meant on pic 2 the shoulder on the right looks flatter than the left that's all mate but as mentioned its probably the camera angle or my eyes lol

think its camera angle made plays tricks on you cos ive cut background + shadows out and trimmer the bat in places lol
and johnny i think handcracfted /handmade is 100% the same thing no matter what the bat maker puts.

Just checked out the fb page ry. Pics look good man. The re handle looks good too. Your labels going on that one then?? Bit of local exposure lol
-
yeah think mattys picking his bat up 2night :)
-
Good times. Ry won't see the light of day if you keep nagging for bats as well haha poor lad.

yeah dropping it off for matty tonight. think hes got a couple more for me though lol
-
Haha he will be passing you everyone's. Ryan kelsall master bat refurbishment and re handle specialist for Matty ONLY.... Why, cos he's much larger than you are and he will eat you lol
-
Looks lovely, great effort. Any chance you can stick some natural pics up with out the editing.
-
they look no different apart from there isnt a bed in the background lol

I think natural unedited pics gives a better idea of proportion and doesnt look so fake and "website like"
