Thanks mate, appreciate that. Will be better once polished and stickered 😁

Hello sailor! 😆

[LEACHY48]

Looks lovely that mate! Where was the cleft from if you don't mind me asking?

[jonny77]

I'll PM you mate

Latest one finished. 2lbs 10oz bang on, minimal concaving and hjust sneaking through the gauge. Love this shape ahs some nice straight grains.

How is the pick up on that? seems very bottom heavy?

[jonny77]

Picks up great to me mate, but all subjective obviously. There's plenty all the way up the blade and in the shoulders, so it's balanced nicely.

The sweat spot/middle is around 180mm from the toe, so not stupidly low either.  This is my prefered shape/weight/pick up, so would be happy keeping this one

Looks lovely!

Thanks mate, it's a lovely bat this one.

Shaped up this Grade 2 today. Lovely bit of willow with graping right in the middle and it really pings off it. Just goes to show that loads of grains, no blemishes, doesn't always equal top performance. This one really goes! Big bat at what will be 2lb 11 oz finished but picks up so well.

Finished this one off today. 2lbs 11oz, good size and nice puck up.

Let me know what you think...

Been working on this today. Customer wanted something similar to his current his stick, which is the top one I've started refurbing. The bottom one is the copy after its first stage sand, currently 2lbs 10 3/4oz

Let me know what you think...

Looks bloody Massive mate from side on. Also looks to be a lovely mid - mid/high middle top work. Looks like we have a few quality new bat makers on here now which is great to see

Impressive mate, looks really nice.

[LEACHY48]

Looks a good copy mate, definitely prefer the second bat (the one you made) to the first.
