Got My Wood!

Today I went to Danby hardwoods and bought the wood for my bat! This took me a while to track down and I spent a lot of time deciding whether or not to buy the wood online or keep searching for something local. Today it paid off and I have something to show for it. The shop at Danby hardwoods was very interesting and I could immediately tell that a veteran woodworker was in charge. The piece of wood from which my blanks were cut was enormous, about a foot wide and eight feet tall. They cut out enough wood for me to make my blanks and after I paid for it he offered to cut it into two blanks for me. I'm glad he did this because I don't know how I would've done it at school. Below is a picture of the original block and then the two blanks cut out afterward.
