That looks great. John, I hope you kept the "pattern", as I'm sure you'll get more orders for it!

I can certainly make more of these if anyone is interested. Was really nice working on something a bit different and it turned out really well.

Ahem,  good afternoon John, it is odds on that I shall be in touch - for this truly is the epic blade of an improper batsman.

I love it!

Looks awesome John! And a pretty nice looking piece of willow for a G3!

A really unique shape and a one I'm actually loving although personaly I'd have the shoulders a little more square but it's still a beaut, might be in touch for next season John

You know where I am!

The mark on the cleft came out during splicing, left a few marks on the back but reasonably nice face for a grade 3.

Check out the same topic in the Red Ink section. These are only going to run until the end of the month then the sale on bats is done. Going to keep the softs on offer but not the bats.

@Red Ink Cricket
will there be an end of season sale as I was hoping to buy a slightly discounted bat around Nov-Dec Time. Will there be a sale or even any clefts available?

There will always be clefts available. As for the sale, I have no idea at the moment. On sale or not, they are still at an amazing price!

Looks really nice and a big thick bat for 2-8. How thick is the toe?

I have not measured but it should be somewhere around to 30 mm

I measured the toe after a reasonable amount of knocking in, it measures ~25 mm.

If I could afford more postage, the bat would have gone right back to John with a request to slope the shoulders a bit more. I prefer bats with sloped shoulders nowadays to the traditional square shouldered ones.

Love that shape, brings back plenty of memories for us older fellows.

Yes, loved the Symonds Super Tusker, Duncan Fearnley Super Magnum & the shoulderless Slazenger during my school & college days, but could not afford them then. Now, thanks to the Forum and Sponsors, I am able to get a few of these shapes made (with some modifications).

I was limited on how much I could slope the shoulders to keep it within weight as it wasn't part of the original request. Any further bats you have done can be sloped more if needed

Nice looking bat there. I've got a poster somewhere at home of Steve Waugh with a Symonds Tusker.
