Fooling around today and made this one.

Its Hickory, yeah it should be Ash but all the Ash I have is spalted or quilted, but I figured what the heck. I have some fans I work with so I might be making more, we'll see.

Nice idea Kevin, I may have to give it a try.

 

[Deere41h]

Now that is really cool. All the baseball fans are going to love it. Bet you could sell a boatload if you could get the franchise at a ball park. Thanks for sharing it with us.

 

[Glenn McCullough]

pretty cool.

 

[Fred in NC]

Beautiful, great idea!

 

[PenWorks]

Very nice Kevin.

 

[JimGo]

That looks really cool Kevin! Thanks for sharing with us!

 

[alamocdc]

That's wild, Kevin! [] Clever idea.

 

[Tom McMillan]

Looks great Kevin!!![]

I bet you could add appeal to those pens by getting them laser engraved with the name of your local ball club!! You probably can't use the actual team logo as it would be "protected"; but the team name in a classy font would be very nice. Come to think of it, you might not even be able to use the name???. Maybe there is a legal type here who could help with an answer???

 

[Ken Massingale]

Now, that's neat.

 

[bigvoots44]

beautiful

 

[jvsank]

Very nice looking bat I mean pen[]

 

[dubdrvrkev]

Thanks everyone.
I figured this would have been old news around here.
I thought of the laser engraving but last thing I need is the D-backs bringing a suit against me. Maybe I could sell them with an unaffixed "official" decal that the owner could put on. That way I wasn't selling unlicensed merchandise but rather a bat and promoting my local club.

I doubt the team initials would have legal protection.

Nifty pen! Nice finish, too!

 

[green-eyes]

I love it! You could contact your local businesses that support little league ball and probably make a killing if you market it right! It would also make a great gift for that special coach!! I should start playing around in the shop more often!

Well I sold this one today so I think I'll make some more.
If they don't sell, they'll make good gifts for a few nephews I have that are into baseball.

 

[RPM]

Looks great. I need to make one of those for my nephew who is a major league baseball scout.

I like the flare! Nice job.

 

[opfoto]

You made it, then you sold it. sounds like you hit a home run with it!!! Great Job. Nice sale.

 

[dubdrvrkev]

Got three more in process and one of them tentatively sold. [] I'm liking these bat things.

Great idea and craftsmanship, Kevin. Is that an SL kit?.....the other Kevin.
