A Brief Cameo Return to Cricket Bat Making
« on: April 16, 2014, 08:09:15 AM »

Hi Folks,
After a lot of pleading and nagging by work colleagues and their siblings I made a brief cameo appearance - making a handful of customised bats towards the end of our AUS summer.
Enjoyed working with wood again, and was a pleasant change from the copious amounts of metal and such.

Those edges might need some rounding off but it's a quality piece of work!

To me, it doesn't matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in cricket and in sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win.
