Selecting the Timber
All our timber is sourced either from local trees or from willow specialists. Choosing mature trees (between 15-30 yrs old), cutting them into rounds, then splitting out the clefts is an occasional luxury, as the majority of our time is dedicated to the actual making processes. The bulk of our willow therefore comes from willow specialists but each cleft is still regraded in our factory.
The cleft has already been split from the round (section of the trunk), rough sawn, the ends waxed and then air or kiln dried to reduce the moisture content. The waxing is essential as it prevents quick moisture loss from the end grain which could cause cracks or drying 'cones'. Any clefts suffering from these cones are filtered out of production, or, if finished, sold only as sub-standards directly from the workshop once the blade has been repaired.
Machining
Once in the workshop, the cleft undergoes various machining processes to be cut into the basic blade shape. The cleft is resized with our 4 bed lathe to achieve the best part of the timber as the blade. Even at the machining stage, the craftsman's expertise is essential as the blade must be continually evaluated in order to maximise the natural potential of the willow; the most crucial judgments of course are establishing the best end for the handle and leaving the most suitable wood for the driving area.
Pressing the Blade
Once the blade has been correctly graded and machined, the next stage is the pressing. The willow fibres have to be compressed in order to strengthen the timber sufficiently to withstand the impact of a cricket ball. But as pressing is a delicate balance between hardening the willow for strength and leaving the blade soft enough to play well (over-pressing can deaden the blade), Gabba Sporting Products presses each blade individually.
Fitting the Handle
The handle, a laminated construction of cane and rubber strips, is fitted through the precise splicing of the handle into the blade. A splicing saw is used to cut the deep V into both blade and handle, using special jigs, so that the handle and blade fit together perfectly. The two pieces are then fitted together by hand using pva wood glue then clamped and left to dry overnight. Traditionally handles are set slightly forward of the blade, although the Pod benefits from a unique new setting which opposes the bow to create greater control when the bat is in use.
