Looks really good. Great work there!

Just to add my two cents, the Serbian willow bat that I had as a bit of a tester has now become my match bat... honestly the performance is as good, if not better, than anything I've had previously. Highly recommended from a personal standpoint.

Thanks for sharing this. Even though Serbian willow is great, it is not a cost effective substitute for English willow as prices are not much different. True?

I like the landscaped garden!!! and the bat is not bad either

They're only slightly cheaper once the importing costs are taken into account, but it's more a case of the supply being abundant compared to EW. It's no secret that EW is in vast demand, which isn't currently being met, so hopefully the Serbian Willow can help with the shortage (plus the trees are much older meaning the grain lovers amongst us should be pleased!)

#003 is a bit of a beast, got a very light cleft and so tried to make the biggest bat I could from it with just a smidge of concaving. 2lb10, not the prettiest but she's definitely a pinger, I'm looking forward to giving this one a go.

Big bat for 2-10!! Nice shape too.

Spine is running along the blade. How's the pickup?

Bat gauge arrived, good job I don't play professional cricket



@InternalTraining picks up really nicely I think, very pleased with the balance.

Will post more photos later but here they are ready to head down to Kilve today, two lovely sticks:

Face and profile shots of #004 and #005:





Very pleased with these, particularly the shape of #004 - aimed to pack all the wood into where it counts so it's a very full convex middle and the weight and balance has been taken elsewhere where it isn't needed. Both approx 2.11 and both will be up for sale so feel free to get in touch

Lovely full oval handles on these too. Great work ed.

Actually, unless your league has specifically written an exception into its playing conditions, it applies to all levels of cricket.

Not yet it doesn't - delayed for clubbies until 2020, and even then noone in my league will be checking.
