Would anyone know of a supplier of miniature wooden baseball bats suitable for laser engraving? I have a good chance of landing a large order from a local company.

My new Explorer is up an running and I'm practicing/playing with it while making product samples. Due in large part to tips from folks on this forum, I've been having great success with photos on marble and have just started experimenting with wood. I love this stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

Hi Dave.

I don't know of a supplier, but if you find one, PLEASE SHARE WITH US! :) I tried looking for one a few months ago and didn't come up with anything.

Dave,

I checked all of the catalogs I have and didn't find any baseball bats. Possibly one of our SNC members with a lathe and a duplicator would be intersted in producing the bats.

How about a couple of dimentions....length and diameter?

There was a shop around the corner from me that made all kind of bats for the major leagues and also did things like stools and other novelty items out of bats. They recently moved, I will see if can find their new contact information.

Found it. The company name is KR3 Wood Enterprises, their phone number is 519-658-5253. They are located about an hour west of Toronto Canada in a town called Cambridge.

I would think they would be able to help you out.

Thank you Ian. I'll give them a call. I also called Brown Wood Products and they are supposed to get back to me.

Hey Guys/Gals,

Try http://www.gonebatty.net (http://www.gonebatty.net/) , 18" ash bats for $3.00 each. We have bought from him before and the bats engrave pretty nice.

Brown Wood Products also markets under the name of "The Gavel Company". Here is a link to their website - http://www.thegavelco.com/ I have laser engraved their miniature bats. They have two sizes.

Thanks for the great leads guys. I also called the Louisville Slugger Company (Hillerich and Bradsby Co.). They sell an 18 inch bat with the Louisville Slugger logo on them for 3.25 each.
