It just shows that if you price something right it'll sell like hot cakes. As always, I'm sure you 'could' have sole them for 200 instead but the chances are it wouldn't have sold anywhere near half as many.

Not just price but knowledge! Paul (seemingly lol) knows his onions! And is straight talking without the sales fluff, and he has a playing back ground so knows what works and what doesn't. Larger companies should adopt his attitude!

Two lovely bats out tomorrow, two butterfly one unusual supreme with a 2" shorter blade squarer toe made to be 2-7 naked weight. The other is a gold sovereign for a lovely gentleman who came on Saturday to have it made, long trip from Surrey I have to say. He usually uses 2-8 but we kept checking this for him as we made it and he loved the feel of it as it is now and that's just under 2-11 picks up beautifully.

It's a fair price. Fair in the context that you don't need to charge the earth.
Democratic pricing is the way forward. Well done Paul.

I was waiting for Osbourne to announce, in honor of Aldred cricket, tax breaks for Butterfly willow. Seeing as you have resurrected it from the back of the wood shed.

...and that Gold Sovereign is mine!  Looks absolutely superb, can't wait to see it for real and looking forward to seeing how it goes.  I've been lurking on the forum for sometime and just joined.  Had a fascinating afternoon with Paul in his workshop (garage) on saturday, it's great to see a proper craftsman at work.

It takes me all my time to say workshop instead of garage for sure but it is a workshop and will remain so until I build a bigger one but it works just fine, the drive to work can be a bit of a nightmare in a morning though

Supreme is the gorgeous ever cleft I have seen..lovely bit of shading on it.

Hey Paul,
Does the location of the butterfly stain on the blade matter at all?
For example, does a stain at the toe make the toe stronger?
Does a stain in the middle of the sweet spot make the middle better/pingier?

Oops think I managed to cause unintentional offence with my 1st ever post    I was never suggesting it wasn't a workshop, it did look a bit garage-shaped though . It certainly doesn't seem to make any difference to the quality of the product coming out of it - Paul obviously takes great pride in his craft and rightly so... I'll get my coat

No offence taken at all, takes a lot more than that to upset me.

I've been wondering this too...
