Want to do something different
« on: March 18, 2010, 01:31:23 PM »
Okie dokie well have decided want to try something different, anyone got any tips on how I could change the bat I made?

Could add woodwoorm grooves? Im particularly curious in trying the newbery exacalibur shape but how would I go about taking the shoulders off?

Might give it a go now... will probably come up with something suitably hideous

Edit: Where there goes that idea... asked my dad to sharpen my tools and hes only gone and blunted all of them!!!  :(

Anyone know a place that can save them around london area?!

Looks good Leo - nice looking drawknife you go there also.
Is this a bat you made or one you were messing around with?

Quite old thread but an idea i've always wanted to try on an old bat.

to ridge the edge of a cricket bat at a 45 degree angle with the high point of each ridge on the face of the bat.

In my mind this is a) easy to picture b) could direct edges downwards.
