- Ash has been the traditional wood for bats for a long time.
- There may be some specifications that could be extracted from the
- LL or AL or NL.

- But if I were you, I'd stay away from that project, unless I had
- a *lot* of insurance and a good lawyer; I'm sure I wouldn't want
- to be in your shoes when somebody's kid comes home with a piece of
- a bat in his eye, and someone else notices it's your's instead of
- a Louisville Slugger or an Adirondack...
