Really ? Come on think about what you have just said . How long is that tree going to have to grow to get big enough for you to get a cleft out of it . think what the grains are

Most trees are not big enough - though some which grow quickly and that have been left for a long time can get enormous - easily big enough for a bats width, however, why the hell you would want to do it is beyond me though!

correct me if I'm wrong, but would not a horizontally grained bat be structurally weak?
