Finished another couple of bats over the weekend, on opposite ends of the weight scale...
1st bat is a 2lb 13oz monster, 1 inch longer blade, long handle (new owner is 6'6) with a low swell, for the slow/low grass wickets we get over here.
2nd bat is 2lb 6.7oz. Short handle. This bat will be mainly used for indoor cricket, and picks up beautifully.

@Scruffy

those bats look the business, would think they had been made by a craftsman of many years.

I see the finish is different to the first lot you posted. did you do something different this time?

Are you making bats to order, if so how much?

Cheers Garrett, I have got my hands on a hand held sander/buffer/polisher used for wood turning, makes a huge difference to the finishing.
I think the fact I have actually learnt the settings on the camera helps also...

Like the shape and the grains through the toe wouldnt be able to swing it bit to much wood at the toe for me.
