Is the handle a special shape you have come up with mate???

[ajmw89]

Yeah, it's a sort of square oval. Feels weird at first but I find it stops the bat turning and softens the bottom hand grip a touch

Fair play mate i remember a guy in India did a kind of front extra on his handles was strange too.

I just go with what feels good mostly. If it's a bat I make for a friend, I'll try and get them in the workshop, so they can pick up and feel for themselves

All finished now

Couple of pics for now of the latest one.  2lb 9oz finished.  25mm edges but a 55mm spine

Curvacious profile, looks good and nice grains.

Lovely shape, reminds me of a smaller version of my Helios Atlas profile:

IMO it's one of the best you've produced so far Adam - what's the pick up like?

[ajmw89]

Thanks Paul

It picks up about an ounce or 2 lighter than it weighs.  I've put a grip on it and it's a shade under 2lb 9oz (Average weight between 3 sets of scales)  Once it's oiled and knocked in (which I do on every bat I send out now), it'll be 2lb 9 dead I reckon

Pretty similar.  Cheers pal
