Bat maker stays with traditonal hand-split billets
Leatherstocking Hand-Split Billet Co. knows its wood. Their wood is used to make some of Major League Baseball’s bats.
Located in upstate New York, Leatherstocking’s headquarters sits among some of the best hard ash, maple and birch growths anywhere in the world.
The Leatherstocking process starts with raw timber, sometimes still standing, found within a 300-mile radius of the company’s headquarters. It ends with a hand-split billet, basically a bat blank dowelled and cut to specific lengths for sale to bat manufacturers.
