Hey y'all. My "charlie" weapon of choice, for home defense, over the years has developed some serious raised grain, and I was just gonna toss out there if there was something I could coat it with or soak her in to decrease and/or lower the separation?
 
I'd sand it using progressively finer sandpaper until it's smooth. Then rub with boiled linseed oil from the paint department at Home Depot.
 
its a baseball bat....not a fine wood sculpture........

ide hit it with some 120grit sandpaper and then give it a coat of spray on polyurethane from home depot....


approx:
5 min sanding
1 min to spray it down
24hrs to dry

........done
 
Your first mistake was going with a Louisville.....:)

(shameless self plug now over)

Since you're not hitting 90 mph fastballs with it, sanding should be fine and then any type of acrylic- spray or brush on-- should do the trick... We DIP our bats twice to completely seal and harden the finish....
 
Next time you are in Louisville, go to the Louisville Bat Museum, across the street from the Frazier Arms Musuem, and see how they make Louisville Bats.

I did the tour this year. They make bats from ash and maple.

I would sand paper, then go over that with steel wool. And as suggested, use spar urethane varnish.

Why would you use steel wool after using sandpaper?
