DIY Baseball Bat American Flag

Another Christmas Gift!!! Actually I made two of these. Unfortunately I was so busy before Christmas trying to complete all of these gifts that I didn't snap many pics. I also got caught up in unwrapping Christmas gifts and didn't get too many After pictures. I'll try to add a few in the future. I was sent the pic below via Facebook and a number of people chimed in about how cool it looked so I figured I had to give it a try.

I thought from my original research this is actually
displayed in a Baseball Hall of Fame but I'm unable
to find this info now.

I thought using actual baseball bats would make this piece of art extremely heavy. So I ordered these Mini Bats from Amazon.

Each are 17 inches

Since I don't have any pictures of the process I won't go into detail. Luckily the hubby was happy to help me and figure out a way to cut these boards in half. He decided to give me a Christmas present early, a new TABLE SAW! We made a jig and cut the bats in half.

From there it's just a matter of how to display them and painting. Here is the one After picture I have of my aunt.

Thanks for stopping by!
