haha camitoe!!!!! lol, isnt it lamitoe?, stickers look good and that bat has an awesome profile
-
I think E-Unit must have got confused with camel toes!
Bat looks very impressive, nice shape and profile. Toe looks slightly odd in the first pic, but that may be down to camera angles. Definitely like the new stickers!
-
Hahhaa, Camitoe!
Love the profile and stickers, good stuff!
-
Is this a shape you picked up off Julian? As it looks quite similar to the Series 1 shape.
-
Mate, how much?
-
think the series 1 has a longer toe
-
the profile is quite similar to the bat mae by julian for me.It was a hybrid between his series 1 & 3 profile.
This bat looks really good.
How much??
-
They look awsome mate
-
Willow looks poor
-
My bad fellas, but yeah i meant Lamitoe!

Thank you E-unit :), Gary from Red Back makes a very nice bat - but Id guess he's made a lot more bats than I have at this stage so I wouldnt like to draw comparisons, but thanks again for the compliment :)
I hand cut the lamitoe and is come up quite well, but it was quite a tedious process.
Thanks richie, and Tommo - its not that far from my prefered shape, I was mainly following the wishes of the the client and It has ended up quite 'classical' you might say. I do like alot of the profiles that millichamp, redback, farrant and chase tend to shape up but after all I am trying to get the most (balance and rebound wise) out of each individual cleft.
As for prices Its really a P.O.A. thing, depending on what people require.
That said at this stage Im still keeping everthing fairlt locallised.
Willow looks poor
It was bit of a two-faced cleft actually; pristeen on one side, then some birdseyes etc on the other, it was very, very dense (hence fewer grains) but it finished up really nicely. The client actually stipulated that his bat have as fewer grains as possible and When all the academic stuff is dispensed with those few imperfections havent affected perfomance any.
anyway thankyou Sambo, Chaim, danspink,yvk3103 & anyone else I may have missed for your interest.

Alright just wondered about the willow as it looked abit dodgey but the stickers look ok.
-
On a closer inspection, ive noticed that when the edge size peaks and continues to the end of the bat. Is this true or is my eyesight (No Swearing Please).
-
I think that is true. My GN Nitro Extreme had the same.
-
Bat looks good and the stickers look great.
Just a question, how many bats have you made and/or sold BL?
-
Hey adam, sorry for the delay I didnt realise anyone had replied since it died off. Thankyou for the kind remarks and for your input - I do wish My photography skills did the bat justice though.
As for numbers, Initially I was serialising my bats with punches. I then started stickering my bats but my design was such that it covered the area that I used to stamp (back of the inside shoulder) so I stopped the practise. To be honest I have since lost track, but my new stickers have opened up the area once again, So I will probably resume stamping. Ill just have to backtrack through my records and see what Im upto (thats easier said than done though as most were cash :-X) . As for concervative estimates, I repaired a (No Swearing Please) load of bats long before I ever made any - I wouldnt think Ive made that many more than Chris andy Andy, but alot less that Gary who would appear to have cracked the big time (and good luck to him).
