Am I missing something or did the writer miss the obvious? Wouldn't it also be possible to make the requested changes in the weight for the manufacturer to select a billet that was less dry? Or to dry a bat form a bit more before putting it in the lathe? Or select a denser wood grain to get weight without changing size?
Technically, I think you could remove 1 ounce of weight more easily by drying it than sanding it. You could have two bats measured out and be the exact length and girth ... but just dried longer ... and there would be your weight variance.
