Thank you to all who recounted their experience with plywood bats. I =
appreciate the suggestions about smoothing, sealing, and bat pin holes. =
I will take the time to finish them nicely and seal them. Guess they =
won't be absorbent.
These bats will replace particle board bats of the same thickness, so =
storage won't be a problem. I got 20 years use out of the PB bats, so =
that's not bad. They are shedding bits badly now, though, but still =
work fine- I just have to throw away that layer of clay that you scrape =
off after lifting off a pot. Often I use canvas discs stuck on the bats =
to throw small to medium sized things.
Good firings,
