Spudwacker, 1997, Lacquer on turned and carved ash, 3"dia.X37"l..

Photo shows Craig Nutt plowing the old potato over the fence with his Spudwacker baseball bat. The signed "Farm Team Model" is a large carrot turned and carved from an ash baseball bat blank from Hillerich and Bradsby Co. (Makers of the famed Louisville Sluggers). A patty-pan squash serves as the knob at the base of the bat. A potato-shaped label proclaims its name. Spudwacker toured in the Bats & Bowls exhibition sponsored by the Kentucky Art and Craft Foundation.
