So, I have been bat making for some years now, and researching into the history and traditions to the craft. I thought I would see what you guys think of my latest bat I have made and designed the stickers for. Have been trying to get an apprenticeship, but like all things on this country, no one is interested.  Let me know what you guys think of the bat and design. I will be upload some more.

look good, any chance of some profile pics and from the toe up.

how much of the process have you done? raw cleft or part made?

[Ryan]

Agree with Johners, any of the profile etc?

[Ryan]

Looks good though, how long have you been making bats?

[buddyb]

sure, I'll go and take some. I have been lucky enough lately to go to an established manufacturer to splice and press my bats at the moment, although I source all my clefts and handles my self though.  I've been making on and off for 2 years now, but on and off since I was at uni whilst I was researching.

I am a big fan of those stickers and the bat doesn't look too bad either!

[Uniquedan90]

Top stickers I have to agree, very well designed.

Top work there buddy, It looks like you have the knack to bat making. What is the weight of the bat?

[buddyb]

[Red Ink Cricket]

nice size. decent concaving but still looks chunky. nice shape too.

is it me or is the spine straight all the way along? could just be camera trickery or the stickers playing tricks on my eyes.

what are the specs then? weight, edge and spine height etc?

[Simmy]

stickers look spot on as does the bat

very very similar to the profile that ryan made me
