2.10
35 mm edges
Heavenly awesome pick up
I have hardly seen large number of barrel straight grains with such a perfect symmetry and spacing.

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

When I got one of those, I removed to stickers straight away - the two benefits of that are that the stickers are not very nice, and it also shows off the beautiful grains. But also got it rehandled with newbery handle - as the AS handles tend to be poor quality (which is a shame as the blades can be excellent!!)

This tends to be a lingering issue with almost all Asian bats. Thru a friend, I acquired a used SS TON L.E. from Saurav Ganguly. The handle cracked within a year, send to Gray Nicolls UK for re-handling, the bat is stuck in customs for the last 9 months in London. (long story).

Anyway, missed out on winning Shahid Afridi's boom boom bat auction. It went for a mere NZ $650.00, my max was $600 and missed on bidding due to being at work !! Oh well.

How about you Pete? Got your hands onto anything interesting lately?
