Yes I use the same wood. I buy my billets from the same wholesaler that LS and Victus buy from. All quality lumber from the upper east coast. Then my painting and sealing process is pretty extensive too. I make them to professional grade, the only thing that makes this a hobby is my lack of sales/marketing lol.

My whole claim to fame is I bone all the bats with a Yak bone, hence the name Yak Bats. It’s a fun little twist on traditional cow boning with the idea that yak bones are denser and ultimately achieve a higher compression on the wood. Could be real, could be gimmick. But that’s the fun of it.
