The photos of you crafting the bat reminds me of some Indian factories where your legs and tummy becomes a work bench . You have got great skill to do it with no bench. The photos are very much inspiring.

Thank you

Can't really compare myself with someone working full time. It is really hard to work without a work bench as the bat rotates during the tool application.
Some videos which shows my skill gradually improved a bit as I worked on:

Thanks Tushar, I am hoping that after binding it will give oval feeling to the handle. Right now it is more squarish

Lovely bat and pictures. A nice little workbench on the deck for summer would be ideal.

Having used someone elses bat with a squarish handle, I have to say that it is remarkably comfortable...

Nice work there mate. Although, Midnight looks none too pleased, must have really high standards

Yes, she is normally upset with the bats as they are untouchable and unreachable to her while she loves to chew wood, Salix alba is still out of her taste buds

She's got that "C'mon mate, really?" look ... ADORABLE!!!

Yesterday finally got the stickers from the contact. It got delayed quite a bit as Joe has delivered it to my UK contact weeks back but had to wait for it to arrive.
Over all pretty happy with the stickers. Joe's service is excellent and he patiently made iterations on my ever changing requests. I had produced him a rough draft on "Paint" and he did a really great job in terms of finishing it professionally.

Would love to hear some feedback!
