Well its always exciting when your new willow comes in and mines arrived mid afternoon. Here's a couple just cleaned up off the pile. The one on the left is a butterfly stain and one on the right is a grade 1. Can't wait to get more cleaned up.

Looks like you've got plenty of grains to keep people happy Paul.

Yes obviously lucky to grab those straight off the top. I think the butterfly are going to be interesting as you definitely get a mixture by  the looks of it so going to sit and work out how we price these. We may move the grade 3 up to a less ridiculous price as I have them really cheap at the moment as we have to order a lot of those in order to get our 1s and 2s so may put these in somewhere around the price our 3s are at the moment if that makes sense. That's initial thoughts, not set in stone at the moment but seems a good practical idea a think and I reckon people with flock for them to be honest. Initial feel of them is that what I have picked up in the butterfly seem quite lite not weighed them just the feel of them. Its interesting as first time I have worked specifically with them. Will keep you posted on how we do this.

Be very interested to know the price points for the bats with butterfly stain. When you say mixture do you mean performance?
