Just wondering if anyone on here can offer anything similar or better to Kippax's offer?

Im sure you can make more than 10 bats out of 1 tree though cant you?
Theres been topics about this before, people raised questions like what happens if the tree develops a disease/gets hit by lightning etc

doesn't say if it costs extra for the bats being made at the end or is it implied they are free as its your tree

You have a certificate of ownership, but Kippax wont make the bats and youll be lumbered with taking care of the tree

Was tempted to get this as a wedding present last year but was unsure about waiting that long. Anyone on here done this? Seems like a good deal for Kippax, they get a good lump of cash up front, the probability of making more bats than they pass onto you and maybe the better quality bits also?

Lots of unanswered questions, but a good idea in principle
