Love that shape, which Hunts model were you replicating?

It was an "Edge". It's not exactly the same shape but it's as close as I could get it.

Out of interest - are you buffing them or is this just very fine sanding?

Sorry didn't see your question, no buffing just fine sanding at the moment.

I wish I had a buffing wheel though.

Loving that latest bat, really well done, I bet you are really pleased with the finished article.

Hopefully you will use the bat to good effect, it certainly looks the business, was the cleft from Matt at H4L again?

I used my 2nd effort in a 16 over thrash last night, only faced 4 balls but hit 3 4's and the 4th was going quite nicely until a youngster somehow clung on to it in the finger tips of one hand at full stretch  >:(

Do bats have to have that Type/grade A sticker on them? as some I've seen do and some don't.

In order to be used in games played under MCC Laws, bats must have their Type denoted.

It's often included on the handle sticker, although it may be on the little holographic one or the one at the base of the back of the blade that says Handmade English Willow and in tiny type face Type A, as here:

Simmy - the Grade A is required to confirm that the brand is happy that the bat is within the laws and guidelines (e.g. no lams!!) I used to think (before the forum) that it was to do with the grade of willow!!! But you live and learn.....slowly in my case!  ;)

Does that mean on every bat or can the manufacturer register the bat design somewhere, designating it Type A so not needing the sticker?
