New home needed
« on: November 07, 2013, 02:56:52 PM »
Sold. Ok guys here an absolute beauty. It came in to me as a grade 1 but as it was cleaned up it had some very feint bluing on the heart wood so won't sell as a 1 or a 2. It was selected for someone and prepared and they changed their mind last minute it's an absolute gun weighs in at 2lb 9 1/2oz 34mm edges high spine. Mid, long middle £125 shipped in uk.



And here's some more lovely pieces of willow just pressed and handled waiting to go out get in touch if you see anything you like or you just need some information.

Not surprised it went so quickly! I'm guessing this was the bat you made for the customer who was testing your patience! They don't know what they're missing out on. Whoever bought this has probably just had the bargain of the year!

The second cleft in from the left is a rare one it is weighing in at only 3-5 in its raw state and its a lovely bit of wood. Make a big bat for someone

I am hoping the existing Aldred owners get a loyalty price when they buy their second. Something to think about Paul lol
