Title: Willow Suppliers
Post by: Washington on December 07, 2010, 08:53:28 PM
Does anybody know any other suppliers of willow other than Wrights? Their MOQ is way beyond what im after, so im after any suppliers who supply in smaller quantities?

I know of Anglian, but not sure what their MOQ is?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Thanks

Dan

He's gone into hiding. The head batmaker at GN has had a breakdown on the back of actually having to make a good bat for him and Mike is afraid he will hunt him down :D

You're perhaps as good buying off a bat maker who has a large supply - Hunts County will be helpful.

Are you going to go into production the Dan? I expect good things based on your first attempt.
