That is a big bow. Guessing they must cut they in a little as well and pressing the bow as that looks a lot for just pressing. The clefts must start off huge goo to get 55mm edges and a bow like that

GN have their own willow supply, and can cut to a larger size, as far as I'm aware JSW don't cut to that size, (but others can do)well that's what I was told by Jeremy.

I'm not sure of the relationship between GN Aus and GN UK, whether they ship willow to them.

You also get warm weather in Aus, sometimes even warmer that India/Pak which helps in drying out the timber further.

I think Kippax do not get the credit they deserve, it is them who have made available on larger scale (either through their own bats or supply of clefts within the industry) massive bats

Had a look at next seasons GN bats a couple of weeks ago, they have gone a few massive bats in the range.

May have to send kingsgrove some more money next season then! As I doubt we'd get them here.

I think you will,  if you accept a compromise. Warner probably  has a shorter blade and an ultra light  cleft.  Thin handle and a bit dry.  Wait long enough  and something will come along.  I think John dropped  me an email about my red ink cleft roughly 3 months after I enquired. Without the bow I imagine  b3 could do one in a light cleft at any point.
