Getting one tonight, I'll write a little review if you like.

Company resides in Tavistock, Devon. Only a 30 minute commute to Plymouth and parts of Cornwall.

Got a few pics of the bat that I took after it arrived.

Please note that the colour may seem quite dark, that's only because I took the pictures right after oiling it, it's lightened now.

It was £150, seems really nice. Been knocking it in and the middle does seem lovely, can't wait to try it out in the nets.

Does Matt actually make a bat, I ask as I very much doubt he does, being that he claims to take a rough cleft and make a finished bat from it and his comments on the website are those of someone without any knowledge at all. I would be kind and guess he sands and binds 90% made bats from County rather than buy imports.

Ah Talisman, the Cricket Sheriff... Mind you the pic with the drawknife on a bat that looks like it just need sanding is a bit dubious...

Saying that it could be there just for the sake of having a pic with a drawknife on a bat....

Definetely makes them, I've seen him do it before.
