I don't have the software to craft this but lets see if anyone can capture my imagination.

Starting with the toe = 40 mm thick and solid
Going up from the toe towards the mid, the first 2 inches with no concaving or spine.
Edge size starts to diminish and becomes about ~35 mm in the middle with significant concaving in the profile with a spine about 55 mm
The sweet spot or the middle of the bat, very, very high to balance out the thick toe.
Spine remains at about ~ 25 mm where it meets the handle
Shoulders about ~ 20 mm
A very deep Asian style bow in the profile
Roundish Handle

And obviously not more than 2.8  in hard pressed grade 3 willow.

40 mm toe in 2.8 ounces or less. Good luck with it..

I have seen a LW Signature in 2-10 with these specs. Trampoline of a bat but no bow.

40mm toe, reducing edge and back gradually.....
Shape is called the Hammer Head.
Trampoline of a bat, but very much bottom heavy.
Mainly suitable for pitches of low bounce, set to pose
Difficulty to players in use on pitches with high bounce.

Something like this? Your exact dimensions, would actually come out around 2lb9 with a standard density bit of willow (allow for a bit of guesswork on how much a handle weighs).

That's a good start.
Does your tool allow to put a bow in the profile?

[edge]

Sort of, much more complicated to do it properly or I can just do this

[Canners]

Would be the worst pick up ever

[Calzehbhoy]

Must have really low bounce pitches to need a 40mm toe?

[Northern monkey]

That would pick up rubbish and I reckon you'd get a bit of flex/weakness where the spline is.

Only way that toe works is longer handle shorter blade

I'm sure a mate of mine used to have a bat exactly like this... I think it was a Newbery. Massive toe.

Millichamp & Hall did a similar shape about 10 years ago.
My mate used to have one, I cannot for the life of me remember the model name but I think it had grey stickers.

This is why I don't really favour "a design your own bat" approach by clubbies. As I believe it takes away the batmakers skill and judgement when shaping to some extent. You cant buy experience.

Anyone ever hit a six off the toe end of the bat?
Why would you want a 40mm toe,  in one of the deadest zones of a bat  ?

[liscon12]

One question.....WHY???

[jimmy23]

The toe sounds like the longer bladed mongoose.
