     Right, in a couple of weeks I am looking to buy a cleft and have a first attempt at making a bat. Basically I was just wondering how much a pressed, handled Kashmir cleft would cost, and where the best place to buy is. Cheers.

I wouldn't bother with a kashmir willow cleft they are a nightmare to work with and just blunt all your tools, I would buy a low grade EW cleft which you can pick up for 40-50 quid, much easier to work with
