Bob: I don’t remember if you saw my posting for my third place in the last contest.

It was some tools from major League Woodworking. One of the things I got was a bat shaped mallet.

Your small one looks like a great match.

Nice turnings.

Karson,

Hi bud,

I did see Tommy Mac’s MLW tools and video. As a matter of fact, his videos helped with the development of these samples. I agree, the walnut one looks more like a mallet than a bat, the turning techniques are the same. I’m going to have a blast making another 5 to 10 more of the full size versions. I have 5 more cherry blanks and once that ash dries, we’ll have plenty of wood to turn. Hope all is well with you.

Bob, looks like all you need is some ash and you’ll be in the bat business. Very good on the turnings, they all turned out great.

-- John @ Myrtle Beach

Great job on the bats. My kids have been asking me for a while now to turn a bat for them. You’ve inspired me to get off my duff and get it done.

Thanks!! :)

Hi Bob;

You turning with a bum arm?

I though you were getting an operation on one?
