February and early March have been great months for orders and enquires, and here is a couple of recent bats iv been making.

First up is an AM18 but with a mid/high middle as per customers request. Grade 3 willow 2lb 10oz finished weight.

Secondly was a copy of this Kook. It was originally a Ghost from 2018 but had some weight removed by someone else and it ended up a very full shape. Anyway customer loves it and kindly asked me to copy it. He popped over and had it made whisky he was here which was just as well as he travelled 2.5hrs from Richmond so I felt very privileged that someone would travel that far for my work.

Grade 1 cleft and kook is 2.10.7 so this finished 2.10.9 so pretty happy with that and overall happy with how this one came out. Didn�t take any pics when it was finished but like the AM18 was finished in the blue stickers with a yellow grip.

Finally another AM18 in its stock profile. Grade 2 and finished at 2lb 8.2oz. Was a stunning cleft and one that I would have loved to have had in my kit bag for 2023

Latest one finished off, been rushed off my feet with orders, repairs and refurbs so sorry not shared much recently.

AM18 profile Grade 2 finished weight 2lb 9.4oz and just one of those clefts that was a joy to work on from start to finish and the ping is unreal. This is off to old boy I used to play with when I lived in Kent and still plays for Kent over 70�s. Oval handle and full profile

Cheers @jonny77 been the most popular shape/profile this year so far and very happy with how this one came out. Now to design some new stickers as running low on the current batch

A few of the bats that iv been making recently.

Couple of mid/high versions of the SL06 but with a rounded toe. Stickered one finished 2.7.6 and the other 2.9 dead on

The other two are an AM18 profile on the right and the left is a copy of a GN Shockwave from a few years back.

Here is a Harrow that iv made up just to practise using a plane more than anything else. Made from an adult part made. Found it quite hard to get part-made Jnr bats in size 6 & 5.

But anyway going to introduce Jnr bats into the range in Harrow size only at the moment. Shape is as yet unnamed as this will be 4 models but I only have 3 children. For those that don�t know the model names are my children initial and year or birth.

Totally full shape but more traditional edges as trying to achieve weights 2.4 to 2.6 for Harrow is a struggle with large edges, we will see if younger players buy into the more traditional shape

Few bats iv made over the last few weeks

First is a stock bat but most likely will be in in my bag if still around when I play my next game. G2 AM18 profile 2.10.4 finished and fills the gauge.

Next is a G3 Butterly finished worthy 2.9.5 lovely blade with superb straight and even grains just a few marks on the rear of the bat.

Regular customer had 3 made recently 2 more for himself and one for a team mate. Copies of an Asian I believe made bat but no branding so unsure who the original maker is. Happy how they came out all 2.9 finished

New stickers have arrived with 4 colour options now and a slight revamp to the original design. As always thoughts are welcome.

Turquoise on a AM18 Butterly. This was going to. Regular customer but unfortunately in the drying process a small pressing crack appeared so this is now a stock Sub grade bat. 2lb 12oz big full profile and lively performance. Semi oval handle.

Next is my match bat featuring the new scarlet red colour option

Should 'hand crafted & suffolk' not be 'hand crafted in suffolk'?

Is the willow and wand on the red only backwards for me?

You'll be glad to know you're not losing it 😅 suspect it will be from the pictures being stitched together.

Like the new stickers, big improvement on the previous iteration.
