I would love to make but sadly I do not have the ability. I was going to take DT and GCSE's and make one for my project but decided against it.

I have  :)

Made a couple of bats, the first was a small tradionally shaped bat which i wasn't impressed as the cleft had split down the back of the bat so by the time i took out enough willow the bat had a shallow spline.

The last one i made was a real success, was a 1000 times better than i could've imagined producing, here are the pics of it.






The bat weighs 2'10 and is a Grade 1+ with 12 straight grains.  Was going to keep it for myself but decided to sell it.  I'm waiting for a delivery of willow so i can make one for myself.

If anyone wants any advice on making a bat i'll do my best to help, i'm still a complete novice myself when it comes to bat making!

The bat is in my bag still unused still not sure whether to use it for myself.  In two minds at present but could let it go for the right offer.
