Apart from the off dink out the back and a few cherries the Piri Piri was in fairly good condition (and would've been a nice bat before it was neglected)

With the shoulder repaired to a standard I'm happy with I got round to cleaning her up.

The bottom half of the bat is now cleaned up, I'm just waiting for a couple of days before I unveil the end result.
I'm very pleased with how this bat repaired and cleaned up all things considered.

If it lasts 1 ball I won't be disappointed because of the state it arrived in, but it could be a belter.

Good job mate. I'm sure you can pop this back on ebay and get some of your money back 

I've always wanted a Warsop so my heart is saying keep it.

However my head is saying I can get that and the Piri Piri back on eBay.
If I clearly say "repaired - no guarantee" in the listing I'm fairly confident the two posted sticks will get me near to breaking even on the initial price.

A bloke I know who is quite a well known YouTube cricket coach was given a PeriPeri to use in his videos. It was the biggest bat I have ever seen and it was 2'8. Honestly it was huge. He didn't rate the ping though to be fair.

I do like the stickers and branding of piri piri

I've been busy with these!

Here is the worse of the two Warsops. This was mashed into pieces on the toe and had a big strip of willow missing.

Here she was before I applied a generous glug of the fines raw linseed oil my garage had to offer!

The missing chunk has been replaced with wood glue! And all things considered I'm pleased with how she came out.
A fibreglass scuff sheet is a must on this bat to hide the face, but if it taps up okay I'll use this as a net/wet/lend it out bat.

And last (and arguably least!) the GN fusion carbo.
The shoulder was broken badly on this one, and on removing the stickers it was already full of dowels.

As it was dead anyway I had a bit of fun and gave it a really thorough sanding before "repairing" it.

It has been oiled and bar apying some fake eBay stickers and a scuff sheet this one is finished.

As it was already more dowel than bat and terminally broken, I used a "special dowel" as well as a lot of glue.
If you look closely at the last two pictures you might spot it

I clearly said I put it in myself, and  it's not a nail.
So screw you!

What screw? Loving the refurb and the chrome dot sticker on one side is a very classy touch!
