Looking good, that's a huge spine.

GarrettJ · « **Reply #37 on:** February 21, 2015, 10:25:58 PM »

It's 75mm and goes that high for about 20cm up the bat. Thin edge though like the distinctions had but toe is a bit thicker

I do struggle to shape the handle though. Bottom hand feels a bit angular rather than oval. Will come with practice I suppose.

Some great work there Mate looks a belting profile

That is one mean looking bat. How does it feel in the batting stance and pick up

Like the edge size
Cracking effort

GarrettJ · « **Reply #41 on:** March 04, 2015, 10:46:45 PM »

Very impressive mate, how much for a butterfly in that shape?

GarrettJ · « **Reply #43 on:** March 07, 2015, 09:18:38 PM »

latest bat im doing .... with one tool and no vice .... back streets of karachi style!!!

40mm edge and 65mm spine, absolutely no concaving. Still a bit of weight to take out of the toe and shouldrs .... currently 3lb

at the start .... a 50mm edged square block with no maching at all

after some shaping

10 mins later

You've got a good eye
The first bat looks very good, finished very well
Keep at it

If I'm being honest, the second bat would be what I'd shape!
Not a fan of huge spines, but the second shape looks perfect, looking forward to final pics
