I would say but I don't want to upset James which seems to happen whenever I mention the L word :D

Jon, those all look lovely. The Lekka and the "GT" both look very similar in profile.

Ah, that will be due to me not getting low enough for the shot, as i didnt want to be lying in snow. The GT is a fair bit higher.

Assume thats heartwood on the edges of the hattori and GT rather than moisture?

Looks pretty dark on the GT.

Nice collection there though my friend

The heartwood on the GT wasn't visible until I oiled it. It is a really think sliver, probably could be sanded off easily.

Love the look of the GT, nice grains and awesome profile! Have you started knocking it in yet? How does it ping?

Mate you're missing Pakistani bats in your collection.

Good sir if I believed they offered good value for money I would buy some. However a top end Asian bat will cost me more than a hand made example made in England, and I'm all for supporting British industry.
