Did you feel as though you were getting better after every bat made?

2nd from the right looks the best grain wise. The finish in the last bat looks great, especially around the toe area.

Suppose you now need to knock them in and report how they fare. It will be interesting to read how the grade 1 compare to the grade 3.

Hats off to you anyway.

They won't catch us this time! Not this time! They haven't spotted us! No, they're all snoring in their bunks! Or, you know what? They're drinking at the bar, celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!

Look good. Very impressive. The black handle looks wider at the top than at the splice, or is it me?

They look awesome!!

How long does it take you now that you are experienced to churn one out?

Also.... That goose copy looks awesome!! Did you handle it yourself or how on earth did you find someone who can provide clefts spliced like that!?

Thanks mate much. I think after making 6 I can make middle weight range in 45-60 mins without sanding and binding handle.

Goose copy was my first attempt

http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?PHPSESSID=bb8df6ba196f2c885618c7df43c14038&topic=12762.0

I didn't had seen a goose before the start making of it  and imagined it must be the splice
becomes part of handle, not still sure goose is like that :)

Thanks again for liking my garage production.
