Summary: The tour was a unique experience to observe the construction of a professional wood baseball bat from a tree trunk to a finished product. The tour included a behind the scenes visit of a working lumber company including all the steps involved in the bat creation process and safety equipment was provided to each participant. The tour guide was informative and passionate about the subject matter. I highly recommend the tour for adults and children. Due to heavy machinery on the tour children below a certain age may not be admitted. Check with the company before signing up.
