Default DIY Toilet Paper Holder

Wasn't sure where to post this, so I apologize Leon if posting this here is a no-no.

We are hopefully closing on our house next week, and a key part of the house is the Man Cave, which has a full bathroom off of it. The theme is going to be Patriotic/Baseball, so I have been looking for accessories to fit the theme. I found the idea for this TP holder on Pinterest, and instead of buying it for $25, I decided to make it.

A little bit about this...

- The bat handle I cut off a bat that was used in some minor league game. I'm looking to use the rest of that bat as a towel holder/rack.

- The back plate is designed to look like a diamond, or a base.

- The platform for the toilet paper is designed to look like a home plate.

- The wood is pallet wood.

- Not sure it's done yet. There is freshly cut wood showing on some of the edges, so I'd like to find a way to blend those.

Without further adieu, here is the end result...

Would be better with a Cardinal label so Cub fans could wipe their tush after going.

No more under or over arguments with the toilet paper. Now left or right?

You should make an on-deck circle outside the bathroom.

Yes ....... you win !!!

If for man cave, after a get together with some buddies, drinking cheap beer and eating greasy nachos, maybe you should put up a score card:

RUNS -- HITS -- ERRORS

Great, Scott

That's a winner!

Might be hard to get management approval at my house, though.
