Time to contribute to the forum

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.

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!

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

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?
