Boning tool
« on: November 16, 2013, 10:35:39 AM »

Hey guys and gals,

I am looking for a boning tool for rounding edges, either an actual bone or artificial made of good quality metal. Not looking to spent silly money and am hoping some of the other batmakers on the forum might be able to help me out if they have any spares that they would part with.

If anybody has anything they can help me with can they let me know? Not fussed if it's a used tool so long as it is in good condition. Many thanks

I think you can use a bat grip applicator in a similar way, might of read it on the forum.

Who'd have thought it, you can use a grip cone for boning!

Anyone going to google "boning techniques" to see how it's done??

Don't do this, you'll find it'll mark the willow.

Certain metals too will stain the willow, a thick solid ceramic bar will do the trick, a non stained but polished hardwood (cherry, ebony or buloke)  or speak to BeachCricket about how to prepare you own pickled Bone. You can either use it for edges and surface, but you can "seal" off the tops of the shoulders... this will help against splitting.

I assume there are no companies out there that supply these kind of tools for batmakers? For example pre prepared bones that have been soaked and are ready for use to do the face and edges? It seems that everywhere I look everything that is used by batmakers is a. custom made and b. very expensive, despite there being quite a few people about who manufacture bats.

I use my handle of my bat mallet.

I do this as it's what I learnt whiles a thing streaky at b3 knock in my bats, if it's good enough for b3 and gm. It's good enough for me.


Have to add though, I cheap as mallet may mark or ruin the edge, ensure you have a high quality mallet.
