Hi Paul
Parcel arrived safely on Wednesday morning.
Impressed by what I would consider improved packaging.
Delighted by refurb and new bat.  New one has thicker edges but spine possibly not quite as high.  However feels exactly the same in weight pick up and feel, which is what I asked for.
A couple of questions:
You haven't taped the edges on either of them this time.  Any particular reason?  If not I will probably do so to both.
The original had my initials stamped on the shoulder.  Have you stopped doing this or was mine just a one off?  The new one has some sort of code stamped on the back - 1466.  Does this mean anything?

We don't put the edge tape on now haven't for a couple of years I suppose since I found this anti scuff sheet we haven't needed to its really good quality stuff and looks nicer without I reckon. The number is a log for me to keep track of what's going out when and helps me with my ongoing tracking of customers as we grow as a business. As you may well be aware we are happily getting more and more popular and widespread throughout the country and worldwide now but I only intend to keep the business as it is and only have myself making the bats and dealing with the customers, this is incredibly time consuming but it allows me to keep the hands on customer service that I have been and continue to be renowned for alongside my bats. I suppose hopefully it will get to a stage where I can only take so many orders in a year so as to keep the quality high but I would rather do that than compromise our standards
Hope that answers some questions

Thanks for the response Paul.  I'll probably just tape up the edges myself.

Change of background today. A beautiful gold sovereign butterfly1 off to one of the local clubs South African overseas. Normally a 2-8 to 2-9 man but as usual anyone who comes to have one made ends up deciding that its feeling perfect at 3oz heavier than they would normally buy as the pick up is so good. It is a lovely bat this I have to say. We have about 7 more orders in line for the butterfly1s this week along with some top end grades too.

I'm looking forward to getting hold of mine, I haven't been so excited about a bat before!

[Aldred Cricket Bats]

Well we keep finding these for our butterfly1 bats truly fantastic piece of willow just been pressed and handled will make a big    2-9 standard sh bat in any range.
