It looks like I'll be making this years Plugfest. Limited building compared to other years. I would like to know if anyone would like FREE rock maple. I do custom baseball bats and I get many broken bats ( from other manufactures) from players. I inspect the breaks, grain, dryness etc. for my own knowledge. I was thinking about cutting the broken bats into usable lengths( barrels & handles) for those who would like some. They will have to be either ripped thinner for usable pieces or trimmed. I can bring in a box for those who want some. I assume there would be a few. If there is an interest chime in and I will start culling through the broken bats and cut them up to bring. I do also have a request: Will there be anyone selling AYC ballisters 1 1/2" & 2"?

I'd like some of that maple. Not ash bats anymore?

I do ash & canadian yellow birch. #1 grade maple is $$$$ and very brittle. I like the resilience of ash & birch. I'll bring the maple. |

That's why they keep breaking.. the new trend has been towards maple.. ash bends when it meets the ball... les splinterd bats.. but the ball doesnt go as far.. |

I'm looking forward to Plugfest and I'll have plugs done this year. I've done 3 batches of epoxy so far and about to do a fourth in a few minutes. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish a bunch up in time for plugfest.

I hear you Paul. Last year I didn't get anything finished till middle of April because I was so busy with work. This winter with no work I've been pretty productive. I did just got some added motivation this morning to get my plugs completed in the form of a job offer. So I'm going to push it to make sure everything I have started is finished before plugfest or otherwise there is a good chance I won't have time too. |

Hmmm Maybe I'll try a convex nose with a flat canal belly and see how that swims.

Depending on the float attitude and whether it's a floater or sinker, the cupped face has no effect. If you give it a slight angled cut and cup it like a little neck it will save the messy angle under the nose gormmet.
If it's a canal style and is fished in fast current the nose it high out of the water anyway.
