My granddaughters that play fast pitch pitch softball, 8yrold, 9 yr old, 11yr old 13 yr old, have decided to ask Grandpa to turn some (150+ probably) bat pens for their league participants. I have researched and asked a few questions to no avail. What wood is best, I have seen Hickory and Ash mentioned most I believe. I would just like to make a 5" to 6" long bat and just insert a Bic style ballpoint in it. Also they would like me to make them in different colors, I am not sure which woods would hold the "Dye" the best. Of course their ideas are for some for their team colors, and let each girl decide on a color to either match her favorite color or her favorite bat color-UGH!!! Any opinions and ideas would be greatly appreciated. I am sorry for the wordy post-It seems that I cannot explain myself in short sentences anymore-getting old-er sucks sometimes. Thanks all.
