What grade is this?
« on: May 26, 2009, 09:07:38 PM »



Saw this on Ebay, interested to see what you'd grade it as and what type of willow you think it is.

personally would say good looking kashmir (perhaps completely wrong!), but even if it is english willow would not grade it as grade 2 as it is supposed to be.  grade 3 at very best

Yeh it's very interesting to see. Have sent pics over to a willow guy I met out in India for his opinion. Got a couple of other similar looking pics here I might upload later.

Maybe its the cheap anti scuff sheet that makes it look bad? Its only fablon! But by the looks of it I would say its just a real bad piece of english willow which would go down as grade 4.

Wouldn't be surprised to see it marketed as G2, can't really see the grains properly though, could easily be Kashmir
