Cricket Bat
This is not a new project, but I just stumbled across the images on the PC when looking for something else, so thought I might as well post them up here.
Its December 2013 .... I remember it fondly as I managed to get some shed time . The project - a (first) custom cricket bat for our then 22 month old son.
No English Willow here - laminating a few old packing crate timbers together:

Turning the handle:

Rough shaping:

Comfort is paramount:

Template for the sponsor logo - Letter E for Edward and a date stamp as time passes too quickly at times:

Finished item:

The boy (8) is now mad about his cricket. The bat is still kicking around, grip is long gone, and it has suffered a little after being left outside in the rain more than once. Certainly a good little project and bought a smile to my face looking back at the little man.
Cheers
