Never looked into it myself but are there not other suppliers of willow or is it wrights or nothing?

If you can find him and no one else can help, maybe you can call... the Pod Father...

Failing that, I think there is a firm call Anglian as well who sell willow, but I know nothing about them.

If forum members or guests require clefts please contact James at Lekka      lekkasport@gmail.com
Lekka has its own English Willow Plantation and can provide clefts.

There is also Kippax. As far as I understand it, they grow their own willow so you may be able to get in contact with them and get hold of a cleft or two.

So are small batmakers expected to buy their clefts from the bigger suppliers if they can't get an account? I'd thought about making more over the summer as my hobby grows but it's clearly a massive financial commitment.

If I want to make a bat I buy a cleft from Matt (H4L) because I can't afford to buy 50+ at a time nor do I have a press or other machinary, if I wanted to start making more I'd have to buy 200+. How much would that be?

Sounds quite a good suggestion Dave. I'm sure there are enough budding batmakers on here to buy 200 clefts in a co-op from Wrights! :)

It's wrong. They're a fair bit less.
