Hi John,
Lemon oil or a similar product will prevent help future layering, but besides glueing the layering down, I don't know of any other way to close it. Matt |

Matt gave you good advice. How bad is the grain separation that you have in mind? Do you think part of the bat is about to break off? Or are you talking about something mild?

I agree completely with Mark. No amount of oil will undo checking and wood flaking. If it is a valuable bat, send it to Fred Lowman at Crackofthebat.com.
If you are handy or it is an inexpensive bat, you can try to glue it but DO NOT use regular wood glue as these do not accept stain or new finish. Rather use water activated polyurethane glue like gorilla glue and others. These can be sanded and take a finish like wood. |

It's very mild. I took a piece of paper and could not insert it in the grain. Still it is visible and you can feel it.
