As for the English buffing compound, not a clue what it was. Was sent over from England though, they deal with a number of batmakers in England so in pursuit of a better finish they've had small bits sent over.



Hunts County use a compound called Briwax, applied with a lambs wool buffing wheel just like the video.

Hunts bats are drum sanded and very rarely see a piece of hand-held sandpaper! :)

Mohit was a great guy, knows his stuff about cricket but very friendly. Looked after me well. :)

On the topic of sanding I doubt there's any English batmaker who hand sands, it's just too time consuming. There were drum sanders in the factory, but only used on KW bats.

Haha they did have shoes, but took them off when doing the bats. It's much easier to use your feet as a clamp without shoes on!

I had actually forgotten about CE etc as I was thinking of companies rather than individuals. Sorry about that, maybe a couple of the part-time/hobby batmakers hand sand but certainly I'm not aware of any company producing upwards of 200 bats a year handsanding. These guys sit there on the floor and can between them sand roughly 100 bats day. With just a piece of sandpaper and a block.

Excellent video Tom, by the looks of it i wish i had a tenth of their skill level.  I don't handsand totally like they do i have a little help from a 1/4 sheet sander.

Bet it was a great experience Tom, with my knees their wouldn't be a chance of me shaping a bat like they do!
