Got a nice Maple log last weekend that I think can produce about six baseball bats? Questions:
1) Is one type of Maple better than another for baseball bats?
2) Is there a particular way I should “remove” the bats from the log?
3) How do I dry to prevent warping and twisting?
Probably enough...

Thought they'd break but have held up well so far with moderate use.

Note: The wood on which it is displayed is the same Magnolia from which it was turned.

Meant to look rugged with even the chainsaw marks remaining on the bottom. Very dramatic spalting lines.
