Received one cleft and bat making tools package from Sam (peplow).
Already had planned to spent my one week vacation in the woods shaping this bat.

Today returned back from vacation and had a really fulfilling experience making my first  bat.

I had some difficulties working due to lack of work bench and no knowledge of using the tools and It took me some time to get used to the tools, though loved every bit of the time spent.

The binding of the handle still remains

Weight so far : 2.8
Max Edge : 25 mm
Max Spine : 75 mm

Half an inch shoulder drop.

Appreciate your feedback! 








































Seeking approval from Midnight

Where do you live? Canada?
Looks very gratifying and makes me think of woodwork lessons at school where I was very average so doubt I could do this successfully.. however your first effort looks great.. interesting profile.. did u have a bat shape in mind or are u experimenting?

Thank you all!

The pictures are from Romania. It is indeed a beautiful country.

I wanted to make a bat with high and long spine and with minimal concaving. Initially started with much bigger edge size but then realized that it would be too heavy.

Thank you Sam, your tools are top notch and service second to none. For sure I am looking forward to the next one but right now just want to relax and look at my first creation

Thanks Joe, will soon update this thread with the bat complete with handle binding and stickers. Can't wait for my personalized stickers to arrive from UK. Unfortunately have to depend on someone to deliver it to me here.

Nice effort mate, bat looks very nice..and so does the background...

I like the shape and squareish toe, was it inspired by scat?

Yes the bat is indeed inspired by Scat, I tried my best to get the balance which is immaculate in Scat.
