Good Knowledge, I have limited knowledge on the tools and peripherals

How did this work out?

[Beachcricket]

Surprisingly well, it does add a nice shine and harden the edges. I put some handles on each end and it probably needs breaking in a bit or I could have done with smoothing one surface so I had a truly flat side. Unfortunately I haven't made a bat recently so I haven't been able to give it a thorough test.

Would a normal burnishing tool work just the same with a bit of linseed oil wax?

Maybe, not sure perhaps one of the bat making big guns could weigh in on that one. On the Gray Nicolls bat making video on youtube they are using a piece of round steel I think, so anything will do I suppose.
