I would like to have a bat made with the following specs.

Bat face width = 4.75 inches (120 mm) - Will this fit in your presser or do you have another way of pressing it?
35 mm edges with a very high middle
55 mm extra long spine
minimum concaving
toe and shoulder 20 mm
Round Handle
Weight 2 lbs 08 Oz

Tell me what kind of a butterfly marked/knots/pin heads/wavy grains low density cleft will fit this order?

Wouldn't that bat be illegal??

Yes, but it won't be used in any official or ICC related games.
It will be used as a practice tool to transition a few American baseball players to get the taste of cricket.

Then when they buy their own bat they'll keep sticking off and wonder why!

You'd be better off getting a regular width bat in my opinion, but most people ignore what I say anyway!

Isn't a baseball bat narrower then a cricket bat? I don't see the benefit to having a wider bat

Not only narrower but as you know, it's round as well.
But the challenge is the transition in the brain to move from playing cross bat to perpendicular bat.

The illegal practice bat is only for starters and then we will move to regulation bats.

There is a lot of work required on the footwork and developing certain muscles and reflexes. How to get the body behind the ball, keep the head down, bring elegance in wide spectrum of 360 range and what not.

I think a golf player is more easier to learnig cricket batting than a baseball slugger.

But I can tell that these baseball batters have some seriously good hand eye coordination to continuously hit the 100 meter homers, and that too with a narrow and round stick.

Although a wider bat will help they'll be fine without it. Some other ball sports players can transfer skills quite well. I remember watching the Ian Healy testimonial at the Gabba about 15 years ago and pat Rafter was smoking the ball everywhere including a huge 6!

They could do a lot worse than to just see ball, hit ball before you coach too many specifics

Yes, I agree.
The good thing is, it started off by them approaching us.
A group showed up out of no where on a Saturday morning during a game.

We got introduced and they closely watched how the batsmen played and showed a great deal of interest in learning.

I can confirm our butterfly offer will be going live on Friday with pictures and density we will have over 23 shapes to choose from and also bespoke option as well.

Friday they will be out including a few low density ones if that floats your boats

@procricket B3 Do you still have this offer? if yes then how do I order?

Coffee n Cookies, lads at B3 have mgmt by the short and curlies!

Seriously though its the heart of their operations. It shapes the clefts from a computer modelled profile. Look up B3 Cricket on YouTube and there are some vids explaining it. Very precise and repeatable. Rest of the bat is hand finished.
