RK Custom Finished
« on: February 09, 2012, 09:56:26 AM »

Well kept pesstering Ryan to finish my bat :)

picked up the stickers from my mate yesterday

so put the two 2gether and took some shots

finish isnt 100% fantastic because i made ryan rush a little bit as i wanted to try it out :)
but still over the moon with the bat!

considering this is only his second bat he has made and his first bat with convaving(other than the test kasmire plank) its amazing!

let the pics do the talking!!

Looks huge that mate. Top effort by ry as well. It might just be your pics or my eyes but the shoulders look a bit uneven  ???

Nevertheless a fantastic job for his second g1 bat.

...now going back to the 'Handcrafted' versus 'Handmade' debate, then surely this bat fits into the former category?

For the record I don't really care which terminology is used! Just throwing it out there!

Bat looks great by the way, and final version of the stickers are pretty sweet!

Comes in at 2.12oz with 70mm spine and 25mm edges. Soulders are square btw pidge, just the binding makes them look off on facebook.

2.12 is good weight for that size bat  :D bet you're pleased with it mate. Are there pics on fb?? I just meant on pic 2 the shoulder on the right looks flatter than the left that's all mate but as mentioned its probably the camera angle or my eyes lol

think its camera angle made plays tricks on you cos ive cut background + shadows out and trimmer the bat in places lol

and johnny i think handcracfted /handmade is 100% the same thing no matter what the bat maker puts.

I think natural unedited pics gives a better idea of proportion and doesnt look so fake and "website like"
