Welcome to Gopher Woodworks, home of Apex Bats. On this site I am pleased to show you some of the projects I like to work on and perhaps you'll find something you would like to purchase. 

For some, their canvas is paper, metal or...canvas. For me it is wood. I have always enjoyed making things from wood. There is a vast variety, always offering challenges and surprises. Whether I am whittling, building or turning, I am happy if there is sawdust or wood shavings on my clothes.

I live in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and fill all my time with the stuff you see on this page as well as camping, hiking, cross country skiing, distance running, fishing, etc, etc.

Other than Apex Bats (formerly Gopher Bats) you can also find Gopher Slingshots and wood carvings such as spoons and chess sets.
