Lighthouses for Baseball Billet Challenge

The Mid-South Woodturners Guild's 

president's challenge for June 2019 

was to use a baseball bat billet section 

approximately 16 inches long 

to make any type of woodturning.

 Caveat:  the major portion of the finished piece 

had to be made using the bat billet.

I will be selecting one lighthouse for the challenge.  

I will be keeping one for myself 

and two others will be gifts.

The remaining ones will be sold

 at a price yet to be set.

Height - approximately 13 inches tall.

The crystal is a JIHUI Clear Glass 

Crystal Ball Prism Pendant Suncatcher 40mm

purchased through Amazon.com.

Five newly finished Beads of Courage boxes
