So, the first thing stock up on all the necessary bits for making materials and tools. You will need a wooden block. It is better to choose blocks of maple, white ash, bamboo and Hickory. Also obtain the usual saw for wood, circular saw, lathe, sandpaper, ruler and a set of tools for working with wood.

Now decide on the size of your bits. To fit the bar under the desired size you'll need is a circular saw. The next operation will be the making block form a baseball bat with the lathe. If skills of work on a lathe you have, it would be better to turn to professionals – they will save you a lot of time and effort. If you work the machine yourself, we strongly recommend not to forget about PPE – protective gloves and glasses.

As soon as you give the bar more or less the desired shape, take a chisel and start working her. So you can control the amount you take of the tree.

Now it's time to shape the handle. Measure with a tape from the narrow end of the workpiece 4 cm – such is the length of the arm. Next, start to clean off the wood in a circular motion – so you yourself will be easier.

After you build the arm bits, you can assume that the work is almost at an end. It remains only to handle a baseball bat with fine emery paper to give it the perfect smooth and varnished to give a bit of Shine. It is possible to first paint, and then apply the varnish.
