Looks pretty Laver-esque. You should start selling them, get a website going - they look really good.

You should; just think of a brand name, get some stickers designed and printed and away you go.

nice shape.
that's a pretty good effort for a novice.There is a huge skill in batmaking which is why the best have been plying their trade for years,and probably why most of us spend large money on something that could break the 1st time we use it in a match.
If your serious about bat making-podshaving- it might pay you to take the finished bat to Salix.You may be surprised how much time Andrew Kember would have for you.
He started at the bottom, as did all of them,Nick at M and H ,Tim Keeley,Dan at Chase,etc,etc...
good effort,keep at it...

I was gonna say that, but thought it would sound like I just wanted him to start selling bats to get a bit of business for myself, which wasn't what I was getting at at all.

thanks all for liking my work but I live in USA and bat making is still a hobby mixed with passion for me as I don't have machines for handle binding and sanding so starting a custom brand is not in my mind right now.

cheers !!
