| - Are you looking for a quirky gift idea for a birthday or holiday? Or are you just looking for a way to say thank you to a valued customer? Whatever the occasion, Johnnyville Slugger is worth taking a look at. They make custom bats that are colored and engraved with the logo and colors of your choice. From what I saw in his beautiful showroom, no subject is off limits. There were bats featuring bands, sports teams and corporations. This may seem kind of kooky to a lot of you, but you have to see Johnny's work in person to really get a feel for what he does. This guy is not just a wood worker, he's an artist. And his custom made bats are amazing. He's the Picasso of bats.
Johnnyville slugger is one of the most wonderfully odd places I've ever visited. The owner is a gregariously over caffeinated guy who loves taking about his trade. He was more than happy to show me around and tell me his life story. And I have to admit, it was an interesting story. Everything about this place is eclectic. From the pirated, Louisville slugger logo, to the subject matter of the bats, everything in this place reflects Johnny's passion for his work.
Here's the bottom line. If you're looking for a unique gift idea, give Johnny a shout. The artistry he puts into his bats is quite impressive. Johnny is a great guy, and I really enjoyed my visit to his shop.
