Great idea, Mike.

But wouldn't you rather start out on lower grade willow, or do you have some transferable skills?

Looking forward to seeing your project though. Be sure to post updates.

Don't know too much of the Australian market. But maybe direct an inquiry to a smaller aussie based batmaker? Bradbury, jp gavan?

Probably worth getting in touch with some of the smaller boutique makers in aus, grant cricket are worth a try

Should go for a lower grade cleft to start off with.
