Book Your Tour ↓The Leatherstocking Wood Bat Mill Tour takes you inside a real, working hardwood mill — not a museum, not a gift shop. Hard hats on, you'll follow the wood every step of the way.
We've been milling hardwood here since 1994, and our wood ends up in the hands of players at the highest level of the game. This is where it all starts.
What You'll See
From Raw Log to Pro-Grade Bat
Raw Logs In
Real hardwood logs arriving at the mill door — the same material destined for professional hitters.
Hand-Split Billets
Each billet is hand-split to keep the grain running perfectly straight — the foundation of a bat that won't break.
The Kiln
Wood is kiln-dried to exacting moisture levels before it ever touches a lathe — a step most people never think about.
CNC Shaping
State-of-the-art CNC machines turn, sand, and finish professional-grade bats right in front of you.
