Each length or roll of willow is called in the trade a "cleft" is first made into the rough shape
of a cricket bat blade. It is important that the correct side of the cleft is chosen as the
face as this is what will become the face of the finished bat. The "blade" as it is now
known, then has both ends waxed to prevent splitting and then air dried to the required
moisture content.

Grading

Before despatch to manufacturers in the UK and throughout the world the clefts are graded
into various categories varying from wood suitable for the cheapest boy's bat to that for
the finest players who have obtained Test Match status using "A" grade quality materials.
