Learn the fundamentals of wood turning and create a mini souvenir baseball bat (18”) or a full-size bat (32”-34”). In this one-day workshop, you'll turn a bat from rough maple stock while learning essential lathe techniques and safe machine operation. Instruction covers lathe setup, tool control, shaping and refining forms, as well as finishing methods.

Bonus: For the souvenir mini bat, you will also be introduced to the principles behind full-size bat turning. For both options, you’ll gain the skills that directly translate to larger-scale woodturning projects.

Bat Dimensions:

Mini bat: 18" length × 1-1/4" diameter
Full-size bat: 32”-34” length x 2-3/4” diameter

Class fee: $125/hour (+$40/hr for each additional student); 4 hours for mini bat and 5 hours for full-size bat.
