    Default 2nd attempt bat pen

    Hey I think I am getting better. Consulted the person whom this pen is for and he agreed that it was out of semetry. So this time I added 1/2 inch (12.7mm) to the top barrel and now I think I might have it. Also wrote his name on the pen as a touch. The pen now is 5 3/4 inch (146.05mm) long the top is ebony wood.
    I have done so much for so long with so little I can now do almost anything with nothing!

    I like the ebony combination sets that pen off. I do like the extra length of it. still can't say I am really keen on your centre band but that just my opinion overall mate I think you have done a nice pen for your mate

    Well, I thought the first one was pretty good. But I agree this one is better; fairer curve to the profile, and the top treatment looks more like a real baseball bat.

    Good thinking in the length of the pen,I think the band is interesting and adds to the pen,a captive ring would be easy to fit on that shape.Feel like a sassanach since I know nothing about baseball.We had a magnificent finish to a vital cricket test here yesterday so I will make a cricket bat and ball,stumps in the future as it means a lot to me.Also since a sassanach is someone who is not scottish my ancestors from near Edinburgh would understand.

    Bales and stumps would be pretty easy but a bat might take a bit more thinking. Getting the little kookaburra symbol to scale will not be easy.
