Hi everyone,
I've been shaping pre-pressed and handled clefts for a couple of years now, and am obviously still learning, but thought I would share a few pictures of some bats I've recently completed...

Looks a good effort mate like the profile seems keeping with what's in at the moment with if the pics are not decieving a duck bill toe and lots if wood in the hitting zone

Look like great shapes.

What are you oiling them with?

[amritpremi]

Looks like you are doing it very well, a bit too much oiling for my liking (could be just camera fault), waxing may make them look slightly better imo.

Thanks for the comments 

I think the colour of the bats is a combination of the camera and bad light in the workshop, I have finished with a horses shin bone, one coat of linseed oil and then buffed...

Here they are outside...

Some nice shapes there, well done.

Well done - I love it when someone new appears having made a few shapes!

keep it up and please keep posting pics of your work!

Well done always nice to see someone having a go would have liked to see a convex shape.

Looking good to me. Keep up the good work.

Hi Guys, I thought I would share my latest bat with you all. It was a strange request, but i'm happy with the way it has come out...
The request was for a shoulder-less bat, like the old Newbery Excalibur, but for it to have a little "scoop" as the old Magnums used to have.
All dressed up it weighs in at 2.10, but picks up well for a bat thats bottom heavy.

looks amazing!!

Like that a lot
Always been interested in trying a shoulder less bat, to see how it affects the balance and pick up
Top effort

[Ryan]

Looks like a good effort, very similar to what I made a few years back. Keep up the good work.

Not sure how I missed this thread first time round but some fantastic craftsmanship there. Really impressive!

Not so fussed about the shoulders but absolutely love that shape.
