Bought the Ash blank for a student of mine. He turned a nice bat over a couple of days and when he had it finished he was out hitting with it the same day.

I bought the bat blank to make a bat for my Grandson Kelton. He is 2-1/2 years old so we needed a 24 inch bat. The wood was perfect and turned very well. I did not know whether to get the Ash or Maple. I tried the ash. I am using the other piece to make a 8 inch pepper mill. Great Service from Rockler and a good project. I can't wait to see Kelton's face.

I turned a 30" bat for my 9 year old grandson who wants to be the next Albert Pujols. It turned our better than I expected and he and my son both were very happy with it. I couldn't be more pleased.

I have turned 6 bats now used as memorials to my bother that passed away last year. All of the bats turned out great. The only thing is, one of the two blanks that I ordered recently, had two hair line cracks in the grain on one side of the bat barrel end after the bat was turned. Seeing how this was used for an award, this was not a problem.

I made the first bat from the ash blank for my grandson. I am now making the second bat out of the maple blank so I can compare the two. Great product.

I have bought several bat blanks, and am very pleased with the quality. I have made both Ash and Maple bats.
They are really fun to make. They are fun to hit with also.

My son, a junior in high school, used the blank for a government project. He made the bat, and then used red,white and blue grip tape for the handle, and had stars and the Preamble lasered on them. His government teacher is also the baseball coach.

I called and asked specifically if this maple blank was actually 3" in diameter and was assured that it was. Most vendors have 2 3/4" dia. blanks. When I got it, it only measured 2 3/4" in dia. and has 2 knot/bark flaws and a flat spot making only 2.5" of the diameter usable. That's a far cry from 3" diameter of usable wood! By the time I send it back, etc. I'll have too much time and $$ invested. In fairness, the usable portion of the blank is good quality quarter sawn hard maple. I guess I'll be able to find some use for it... candle sticks, tool handles, or small goblets perhaps.
Editor's Note: We apologize for the misunderstanding AK. As noted in web copy, sizes are nominal. Our customer service team at 800-376-7856 can assist with credit or replacement of the defective blank, however diameter will be nominal rather than actual 3".

The stock took a little while to come, but I was very pleased with the outcome. If I ever make another bat, I will use this wood.
