    Full size baseball bat engraving

    This summer I turned my 1st baseball bat at the Woodcraft store in Tulsa. I took it to a local trophy shop that does laser engraving along with a Corel drawing of the logo I wanted to have engraved on it. Well, when I got it back, the logo was about 1/3 the size it should have been and wasn't what I wanted at all. As it turns out he didn't have a rotating attachment large enough to handle the job. Apparently, laser engraving a full size baseball bat has several challenges that may require some special equipment/skills. Not only are you dealing with a cylinder, you are also dealing with a taper when it comes to engraving the large trademark logo like is on a Louisville Slugger. Does anyone here have the equipment and knowledge to be able to produce a logo of the same size and location (on the tapered portion of the bat) as is engraved on the Louisville Slugger? If so, would you do it for me on my next bat? I am willing to pay the going rate for this, I just need to find someone who can do it.

    Thanks,

    Larry
