Completed a bat for a mate, who wanted  a big bat and a bit unique:

Edges : 40 mm max
Spine:  75 mm max
Standard width and length, long handle.

Weight : 3.0 lb

Would love to hear some feedback!

Looks a top bat and class finish again. Anyone else think of the old SS jumbos with the cut out at back?

[GarrettJ]

Looks great, interesting shape too. Agree its similar to a SS jumbo.

What you have applied to the toe?

[Vulcan Cricket]

its more df magnum  jumbo had massive scoop out

[mad_abt_cricket]

Thank you!

It is something similar to shoe goo which I find here.

Very nice!

How long does it take you to make a bat?

[mad_abt_cricket]

Very nice!

How long does it take you to make a bat?

Thanks, I worked every day after office hours around 1 -2 hours and it was completed within a week

Liking the look of that, top work!

What did you use to scoop out the back?

that looks lovely mate very nice work. What was the starting weight of the cleft? I ask beacuse wilkie has a cleft that is 3.2 i wonder if you could make a same profile/shape in a lower weight

Thanks Tushar. I used an oversize cleft to make this bat. The starting weight was aroun 1750 gms ( above 4 lbs).

The same profile can be made with a lower weight, the only difference will be lesser edges and a bit lower spine.

Thank you!

Where do you get the oversize clefts from and how did you press or is it the shaping you do and someone else sorts the handle and pressing?

[Blazer]

Lovely mate. You seem to be a natural at batmaking  . Love the profile but not the scooping. Where would you have taken the weight off if scooping wasn't an option ?
