A few shots from the new workshop shed of the softs for those not following me on social media, realise I hadn't posted about these..

[AJ2014]

Johnny, softs look very classy!
Are these all low middle bats?
What's their weight range of these, especially the one laying down? 🙂 And it's pickup?

[jonny77]

Thanks! Really happy with the softs and feedback has been great.

Top one is a low middle but weighs only 2lbs 8oz and is a big bat. The other two are mid middle, the top one will finish 2lbs 10oz, the bottom one a touch over. All pick up nicely too.

[jonny77]

Just putting together a display area, which will have a few bat racks on and a little seating area to hopefully have a cuppa with people when they visit soon hopefully! 😁 Just put a bits up so far, with a sign to go above the bat shelf.

Other pics of one on the bench the other night mid shaping and a 2lbs 8oz G3 finished, going to a promising young local player with pads and gloves.

[AJ2014]

Looks very promising, Johnny.
All the best 👍

[jonny77]

Thanks mate

Few pics from some of the last few nights work. Top one is one I pictured before, which is going out to a local young gun. Just thought it showed the difference in shapes here whey pictured against the other bat. It's 2lbs 8oz, his the gauge just about with some concaving.

The others are of a bat from a batch finished for someone all to a requested shape/spec

gorgeous finish on that. 

[jonny77]

Thanks mate, appreciate that 👍

Cleaned some clefts up tonight to send pictures over to someone who is ordering a custom and seen as everyone likes grainy willow pics I thought I'd share them. Some lovely clefts in at the minute in all grades....

[jonny77]

Think I've just made my perfect stick for this season 😆

This cleft had a drying crack at the bottom and had to cut it down to 545mm. Made it 5mm shorter than a std SH, which I thought I'd try as I'm only a short ar@e! Will be bang on 2lbs 10 fully dressed. Only had its initial sand. Let me know your thoughts.....

[AJ2014]

Very low middle, at shorter blade, it's pickup should be fine,
While I just remember, had similar profile shorter blade at 2lb 11oz, couldn't even pick that up, sanded toe to duck bill, which improved pickup drastically and then... Sold it on 🙂
