Batter Up

[Tea Clipper]

You may remember I posted some similar baseball bat pens not long ago. Well, these are version two: The wood fairy was kind enough to deliver some Maple, Ash, and Walnut along with a template for guidance. These measure 5 1/2 to 6" in length.

These are Pocket pens from Craft Supplies; 10k, black ti, and chrome.

Thank you Don for your assistance and kindness.

Feel free to comment: Home Run or Strike Out?

I think definitely a home run. They look super and you've done a great job on them.
Do a good turn daily!

They look great, and well balanced. Any possibility of you passing along the template? [] I do, after all, live in Nats and Orioles territory. Also, did you use a pin chuck for these?

Cheers,
Draken

I would say it's a stand up triple and then you stole home for good measure.

They look great. I'd get them over to Ken and have him put on a bat logo. That would be the final touch!

These are made with the special mandrel that csu sells. It's really just a short 7mm mandrel. Here's a link to the csu directions for the pocket pen that should give you an idea of how they are made.

Draken, I happen to have one that cracked but I could glue it up and it would make a fine template. Please email me your address and I'll send it out to you.

Johnathan, the buyer is a spend thrift and hasn't deceided whether to laser or not.

Thanks for the nice comments guys!
