I stand corrected on Tim and Trees. Forgot about Warsop!

Is Dan in Oz, ex Vantage chap right?

Dan still makes the bats for Vantage.

Good point Tim, Tony @Warsop the most ignored bat maker in the UK maybe?

[alba caerulea]

Yep he is

A skilled woodsman all round then!

To take it a step further and complete the process - does anyone grow their own trees?

Kippax must do, don't GN have some of their own willow aswell?

Cool that's great news. I honestly thought Dan as in Oz

Kippax, H4L and GN definitely do. Not sure about others. I was reading a website earlier today where a batmaker was talking about growing their own, but can't remember who it was.

Do you think I'm from Blank bats or something

There are only to my knowledge only 2 self sufficient uk companies that grow/source/cut/make there own bats and don't buy willow from any other source , what a great business model to have and position to be in.
