I started by turning a Maple baseball bat on my lathe. Once I was happy with the shape, I cut out a tape stencil on my X-Carve CNC router. After masking it off, I sprayed the tape with spray lacquer to prevent the paint from bleeding. 3 light coats of Rustoleum Apple Red and then dirtied up the edges with some thinned out black model paint. The same technique was used for the diamond detail in the center using Apple Red, Brilliant Blue, Colonial Red and Gloss Black. Once the paint was dry, I coated the entire bat with satin spray lacquer to seal it up.

The letters were the hardest part of the entire build. I didn't just want the size of the text to be accurate, I also wanted them to be the same words. After much searching, I found out the words written on the bat. I printed them off for reference and wrote them on the bat using black, red and blue Sharpies.
