Worked hard on the weak areas, specially shoulder and toe shape and overall finishing.

Feedback appreciated!

Could we see a close up pic of the back of the bat to have a look at the finishing as it looks excellent

As would I, I reckon you could get it down to 2.10 or so with some concaving

Yes, I can easily reduce it 2 -3 ounce  or even more with some concaving / bringing the edge size to 40 / spine  height to 70 mm.

Will take a close up picture of the back and post it in few minutes.

Thanks Mate, but not sure if it is the most practical thing to do for you as I am based in Romania.

A very very good bat, this is indeed the best you have made.

Amuses me how quickly you adapted to the quality, this is indeed a quality stick!

Perfect work on toe, shoulders etc and finishing looks top notch

The spine shaping on your bats at the handle area is so similar to someone I know it is uncanny.

Where are you based mate?  As I see your handles and you splicing technic isnt overly southern asian. [if there is such a thing!]

I am based in Romania. So far I think that with my little experience, every bat I made came out some what different, even though I wanted few aspects to be same.

Another top effort mate, its nice to see that every bat you have made is better than the one before (not that the previous ones were bad)...good job :)

Is this a made from a handle and pressed cleft?

If yes why did you square off the toe?

Yes, it is made from a part made cleft.

I decided to short the blade from the toe instead of shoulder( 1 inch)

so this is essentially a harrow sized bat but at man sized weights. looks good. why did you shorten the blade from the toe and not from the handle/splice area?

Made for a mate who is around 5.2 Feet tall. Hope that answers the query.
