Biggest Kahuna?

Right you are, Chris.
Now we know what it is I can start sanding it down

Aargh. So jealous. Look need to make heavy bats in Laguna shape again instead of there ridicolous shapes.

I went for a very light refurb because 1) the bats owner won't pay for a drink, let alone a bat refurb and 2) other than the toe damage there was nothing wrong with the bat.

I used my orbital sander to get the whole bat back to white willow, then hand sanded using 400 grit to finish.
A new grip and a coat of oil later, this is the end result

You forgot to sand the toe @WalkingWicket37

I couldn't decide if it was worth doing or not, and as I'm doing it for free went for the not option!

That'd be the way to get the weight down though, sand a few inches off the toe before I give it back

Don't blame you if its for free!

I find the toe a tricky one to refurbish to a high standard. You can quite easily end up taking too much off it looking for a good finish.
