View Full Version : baseball bats for plugs
Jimbo 09-04-2019, 03:14 PM Hopefully I didn't repost, but I am in Yarmouth now and have 6 or 7 hardwood baseball bats that were my dad's. Don't know if they'd make plugs for some one with a lathe. Or they go to the dump...I love the Yarmouth dump, haven't seen Guppy there yet but I'm sure I will sooner or later, I go every day.

:jester::laughs::laugha: oh man that is funny
That dump is great, I have been there before
Those bats might be more valuable as bats than plugs, aren't bats made from maple now?

Look at grain. Smooth surface , maple. Bumpy feel its ash.

U can use but not a favorite. I custom turn baseball bats. I also have plenty of broken bats. I did some ornamental ash plugs. After turned and sanded, I torch the grain lengthwise to get that flame temper effect. Then I epoxy w/ ETex.

I was there today and didn’t see youuuuuuu
Jimbo 09-07-2019, 07:37 AM I was there. You probably missed me because I was in the old oil and antifreeze return shed for a while. Seems stoic old washashores changed their own oil then hid it in the yard in old laundry detergent containers for later generations to find.

Swimmer 09-20-2019, 08:09 PM Made numerous plugs from Japanese maple, the best, Mizuno, American ash and maple bats too. Also local ,milled ash, which has a heavy grain, but the plugs work fine.
