Hey guys this is my first post in the turners forum, but I'm trying to figure some information out!
I haven't turned in ages, but I did do 8 years of woodworking in high school and did various things on a wood lathe. I'm wanting to produce 10-25pcs at a time of 14-18" baseball type bats. I really love the exotic colors of blue/green/red/orange, but standard walnut/ash/birch will be fine too. Is there anyone here that does contract type work for something like this or a large manufacturer that does? Or would I be better off buying a used lathe and doing this myself? I'll be laser engraving these for my other business.
