"EL BEAR" Red Bat - Hanks Kerchiefs Collab
The 'Hanks Kerchiefs California Baseball' series of bats is hand-crafted from our standard grade ash billets, hand-painted using colors inspired by each beloved California baseball team, and laser-engraved with the classic Hanks Kerchiefs 'EL Bear' design.
Most bats are made-to-order and fulfilled within 2-4 weeks. All in-stock items will ship within 2 days.
Commemorate your love of the game with a Pillbox Art Bat. Each bat is crafted at our shop in Winona, Minnesota. While we only use high quality hand-split wood for our art bats, they are un-weighed and untested for game use. Though they are not intended for game use, they will surely intimidate any opponent and make a great addition to your baseball memorabilia collection.
Make sure you snag your matching Hanks Kerchiefs ‘EL BEAR’ Kerchief! THIS WILL BE THE LAST ROUND OF 'EL BEAR' KERCHIEFS AND WILL NEVER BE MADE AGAIN - so you may want to grab all 5!

WE ONLY USE HAND-SPLIT WOOD FOR EVERY ART BAT!
STANDARD GRADE MAPLE AND ASH: All of the wood for our art bats is selected from hand-split stock - the same way they did it in the old days. Why is this important? It's all about getting the straightest grain possible. Nowadays, many wood providers use large saw equipment to cut lumber, producing high yields but also cutting across the face or tangential grain. Hand-split, lumber naturally follows the tangential grain, strengthening the bat and lets the wood’s natural beauty shine through.
HAND-PAINTED QUALITY
Each art design goes through a process of hand-painting with stencils and spray paint, laser engraving or even select designs employ screen printing to get all of the details just right.
