It is and more so that I have made it all by hand. It's incredible to think from where I started and where it's moving to and that it is a real handcrafted skill that we were losing from this country. Only just starting for me now though want to remain true and honest to the trade and try and champion true English traditional skills. This was something I wanted to do from the start and hopefully can build up enough reputation of quality to do so. Most of all I love it, I'm not after having a mass market label but just a bespoke product that is distinctly mine.

Just goes to show there is still a place for quality and workmanship even in this world of big bucks marketing.
Congratulations Paul and I'm sure everyone on here wishes you even more success in the future!

May I add price to that.

We get all of Paul's experience and growing skills in bat making at what price?
Pennies.

If you compare against mass produced product Paul win's hands down. <240 for his Players grade? That's a gimme.

Thoroughly well deserved kudos Paul, i agree with KS except for his comment about the square toe though maybe my recommendation doesnt carry quite the same weight  :-[

I'm not a square toe fan but do do them for people, I just think it adds another vulnerable point to the bat
