I am not sure i would use this for fish, but it might come in handy...
It turned out to be a beautiful piece with some minimal color, but a "striking" finish and appearance. The Pear lumber has amazing grain and figure and natural colors. It is a joy to use because of the smooth cutting and sandability. I definitely will be making more of these!

A fishing bat, also known as a priest, is called a "priest" because the tool is used to quickly and humanely end the life of a caught fish. The name "priest" likely comes from the notion that the tool is administering the "last rites" to the fish. It's a way to ensure the fish is not suffering and is quickly dispatched. Fish bats are also known as "poacher's priest" or "game warden's priest," highlighting their use in preventing the struggling of the fish. (Google AI)
