Thanks Mate, the cleft has not been dried or processed in any way. Just among one of the lighter clefts I have.

this looks seriously lovely. I really like the shape and the graping on the face.

I would definitely use this bat :)

Bat on the shape front looks phenominal, as for willow I would guess grade 2?

I would grade it above than standard grade 1 as hard to find such light clefts. The cleft gives a lovely sound from the mallet as well.
