Nice work.

Where in Aus are you based?
I've thought about offering refurbs to team mates but never really taken it any further.

Where did you get the Bubble stickers from?

Pictures of Cameron boyce (queensland bulls leg spinner) bats will be up in the morning.  Some of the best bats I have worked on.

I've had a look on ebay for the bubble stickers but cant find them. I've been doing bats up for the lads at my team and they have come out really well.
I'll see if i can dig any photos out.

Very nice work mate! Couple of questions though. Why the tape instead of binding on the handles? And how do you sand the back of the bats?

Further question.  How much does chopping the top of the handle off effect the weight/balance?  Been tempted to do one of my old ones now.

Hi mate,
These bats arrived with the tape on them which has no binding on the handle. I believe it would give you more whip as the binding is there to hold the handle together. I believe it does fromtesting it on a few old bats of mine.

Further question.  How much does chopping the top of the handle off effect the weight/balance?  Been tempted to do one of my old ones now.

takes a little but not noticeable amount of weight from the bat, is more a feel thing. I hold the bat low and the knobs on top of bats can get in the road when driving. I dont cut the knobs off usually but was out of request as his number 1 bat which is in this picture (is one of George Baileys old sticks) had the handle cut and he liked the feel so Cam got me to do them
