Had to take off the Salix stickers to do a good job.

Spoke with Salix, but they want £20 quid for the stickers (if Vicky agrees to send them) else send them the bat for putting the stickers back, which will cost me £35 to get stickers on!! Not worth it.

Would like to have the Salix stcikers, if someone can get them for less.

I will be posting the pictures of the final refurb tomorrow, as I have taken off another half an ounce (so even the Newbery stickers got wasted:(

make that 3 Liam.

Yesterday I have taken off the B52 stickers and given the Salix a further sanding to take another 1/2 oz off it. But guess will be able to replant the stickers back :)

Will post pics of the final refurb tonight.

Not really Norb. Just wanted to get about 2.5oz off with no or minimal change in the profile and size of the edges. Basically followed my instinct and got about achieving what I wanted.

Lot of hard work and effort. But happy that it has come out well. Hope this gets me a apprentice with one of the top bat makers on or off the forum:)

If you see the original profile the spine was not big hence could not get a higher and more curved spine.

Are you hard up for cash there isn't a huge amount of money in bat making unless you start whacking loads of bats out at £250+  ;D

PM me if you like Yash I'll tell you a bit about that profile and what it should give you....

Just want to make a couple of bats with the best bat makers. Not planning on it as afull time excercise/job. It's just a desire/dream  that I would like to live.
