Title: Very special new bat!
Post by: Buzz on December 12, 2015, 04:50:18 PM
My wife had her first go at pod shaving yesterday, making a bat for our six years old, she is going for a full profile, tendulkar shape but with 50 mm edges and a shorter blade. It may be a laminate, I am not sure.

She has picked a really sweet and super light cleft. 

Inevitably it is taking some time!! 

Special handle shape with unique weight distribution to enhance pick up.

Very exciting. Pics to follow

Stickers need some work, Mrs Buzz didn't listen to my branding suggestions

Oh my word, that's making me drool!

This is a bat I wouldn't want to get the runs with though...  :D

Looks an absolute belter, what's the density like on this one? Looks like it's light and fluffy

I want one of these bats

Looks really amazing. Would the sticky layer in the middle make it illegal though?

That is the 'sweetest' looking bat I've seen in a long time.
Good job you highlighted that it was a light cleft...

I would say 'enjoy', but suspect it is now all gone.

Must be quite soft pressed I reckon.

Thank you for sharing these pictures @Buzz. Happy Belated birthday to your son. May God give him long, healthy, prosperous, and blissful life.
