Any ideas what to do with broken bats

[Benson]

I play in a wood bat league and my son drags home all the broken bats he can find, must have 15 sitting in a bin. Besides kindling for a fire place I don't have, anybody know of anything cool I could make them into? Was thinking of using the barrel and label areas and making them into a ball holder.

If you have any pictures they would also be greatly appreciated.

I also play in a wooden bat league and I collected about 10 broken bats, sawed the knobs off and stained them, mounted them with carpenters screws to some 2x4's that I had stained and I mounted it to the wall. Made a really interesting coat rack. I have seen 2x4's mounted vertically across from each other and the knobs mounted to them to form bat racks.

I know back in the day when I was doing TTM autograph requests, Hoyt Wilhelm would include with his autograph a flyer about the baseball bat lamps he would make from former ballplayers bats. They were actually kinda cool so if you are handy, make a baseball bat lamp out of them and sell them at flea markets and craft fairs!
