Just pictures for now, but figured I'd share this beauty. Edges are around 56-57mm with a rounded face camber. Will probably be around 54mm once I've finished rounding them. Spine is around 75mm I think and it weighs 3lb. An absolute monster and beauty in my eyes, the coat of oil has really brought out the grains. Enjoy!

@InternalTraining :
Bow - Pretty big.
Ping - Don't think we've invented a word to describe it yet. ;)
-
Ouch!! that would hurt!! 3lbs though? have you been lifting weights?
-
Massive bat!! Nice work @GDP1964 :D
-
It looks an absolute monster bud! Now get to the gym to wield it 😂
-
Wow stick! Not sure if it is just the pics but the handle seems angled backwards than a regular bat?

Big Bat Day on CBF 😊 Looks a good un!

I noticed that too but didn't trust my eyes!!

Pick up on this is superb, but yes, gonna have to go back to weights to use it! I have a large variance in weights among the collection, but haven't used anything that's over 2.12 is a while!

It does seem it, and I did notice it seemed a bit funny while holding it, but I think that was down to the bowing! I didn't check properly, but I'll double check and let you know! Not something that's of great concern to me though. :)
Well, those two coins are ~51mm so that is indeed mahoosive! Handle does look backward set in one pic but I think that is an illusion compared to the others. Would be interested in the actual weight too. Beauty!
Just a tiny bit under 3lb in current state is what it weighs. I think judging by all my other big bats, it's a low density and oversized cleft too. :)

That's a beauty Chad, I hope you manage to get some good use out of it & it's not too heavy

that's a Hell of a bat, i am 4 sure you can hit the Leather of a ball.....
