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 questions about preparation. I’ll save my turning questions for later.
Any help greatly appreciated! Need to get that log cut quickly before it dries too much. I have sealed both ends with two coats of high-gloss acrylic house paint.
Thanks!
