Here's some more babies off to start a new life. Ones is a short blade long handle made with the spine running all the way down to the toe. Unusual for us this shape but its what the customer wanted.
These are getting new homes in Hong Kong USA and London. Going global :).
We have spent a lot of money recently to invest in the best equipment for finishing the bats off. These are the first ones out to go through the new system and am over the moon with it. Thanks to all my cabinet maker and joinery friends who have helped with this side of the business we are now at the perfect finishing point
Hope you like these pics

three top looking sticks there!
Why's there so much lovely willow about :(
-
That short blade/long handle looks to be a monster
-
These just look better and better - would it be cheeky to enquire on the weights Paul?
-
The supreme is 2-11 and the others are 2-9 I think they were, around that mark would need to check but not far off that mark.
-
They look absolutely superb Paul. Can't wait... :)
-
Which one is for Mark?
-
I am staggered by the finish the new equipment and finishing system gives after the first lot out and I know its only going to get better as I get used to it. I had input from an old cabinet maker who still makes the most beautiful furniture and he is nearly 80 and he does it all by hand no big planing machines either, pure genius the old craftsmen hope I can get to that stage one day where it all looks so easy.

Supreme Eddie will be collected tomorrow.
-
Wow ..this is coooool
great work there paul
-
Mark is going to be delighted when he get's his new bat.
It looks fantastic.
Great work Paul.
-
It's a goodie Eddie the finish now is incredible. Almost mirror finish if that doesn't sound daft. It's cost a lot of money to do it but its going to be worth it in the long run. You will be able to let everyone know what I mean when you see it

These are some gorgeous bats out there... lovely work Paul and you are right about the finish.. Top notch@!
-
Those Sovereigns look an absolute steal tbh.
-
They are a steal they go for over £200 for a grade 3 with the big brands its just that you have to buy a bigger percentage of them to grade 1 and as a small company get over run at times with them as people only want the top grade players bats. They are beautiful bats and can't understand why more people don't buy them. They won't stay at that price forever I have to say as they will go up against from source I am sure
-
They look lovely - good level of wood shavings for good measure too
-
Lovely looking bats Paul! Can't wait to get mine now!
-
I get confused with all your forum names I get worried I've missed an order who are you vinny in the real world
-
True fact that is Paul!
Vinny in real world is Vinu. Got it now?
-
Gotcha
-
I saw the Supreme in this thread tonight at nets.
It looks amazing!
It's 2oz's lighter than mine but is bigger!
It sounded great and Mark was delighted.
Yet another Happy customer and many more admiring glances.
Well done Paul.
-
So have you got to buy a bigger one Eddie? :)
-
Fingers crossed I get lots of cricket in this season and I'll be lining-up new bats for next.
Although a G3 with a shorter blade is tempting.
