would have to be paper thin.. but im not sure tk has any sort of actuall rubber in there id think it was all just glue based rubber stuff

I have seen a few Keeley bro laminates with rubber inserts and yes the cut off was only a quarter of the face but it hate a rubber type sheet in there

I've got some regupol which is acoustic matting made from cork and rubber but I think it's a little thick. I'll make some enquiries and find a thinner alternative.

The ones I have seen have been scooped out types with the edges left intact and the face cut out was a very thin vanieer with the rubber inserted with a little wood removed then face well section reglueed then a scuff put over.

That way the only joines were on the face and not on the edges at all


Sorry buzz I was referring to the Keeley brothers

Only thing with that is you'd have to use a router to hollow the middle out which is a little more time consuming as you'd also have to make a jig for it. Think the different types of glue would be a better idea.

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

Would a laminate play better if the thin pressed face was laminated onto a unpressed bat rather than a pressed bat/ cleft ?.

Not sure, I would have thought pressing a bat actually actually compresses the top 5mm of a blade anyway. So if that's the case then I'd say it wouldn't make any difference.

Just an update on "Larry", he's had his rubber bands removed and handle glued and set.  The glue should have gone off so I'll be able to finish him tonight.

Pictures to follow...
