Made this, this morning. :S    Quite pleased with it for a 1st attempt, going to make a second one next week. I thought the toe area would be the hardest but its actually quite easy. Finish(sanding) isnt great as its only a kashmir and i wasnt bothered. What do you think of it....

Looks good except the toe looks a funnt shape. More pics will help!

the edges are a little wavy

I think the profile is pretty good, if you replicate that on a better cleft with a better finish i'm sure you would be on to a  winner!
Good luck with the next one!

Yeah edges are a bit dodgy, its hard to keep them the same or regular size throughout.  Cheers sillyshilly

Just a suggestion, which im sure you did anyway, just draw the edge shape you want with a pencil and measure it both side so at least they will correspond and you are more likely to get the weighting of the bat correct......like i said i'm sure you did something similar and it's just a difficult thing to do straight up, i can hardly talk as i've never tried myself but these are just my thoughts

That is superb,
it surprised me when I made my first one how difficult the shoulders and toe were. I usually mark the edges out each side in pencil so I have a guide to work to. Sandpaper is your best friend for sorting wavy lines.

Make sure you post pics of your next one.

One of the best first efforts I've seen... good job mate.
