Hi Vandoo, it weighs in at about 1.5 kg. The white triangles are some form of sea shell. I have no idea as to the wood but it has a very tight grain to it. It also has a "ring" to it when tapped. I like it a lot, even if it was made in the last part of the 20th century. I can see where these could become addictive.
Cheers, Greg |

I heard somewhere that the old clubs when made from the root ball of the tree were dug up and the the root ball was tied up with cord and placed back in the ground so when the root ball grew it would compress the growth layers making the ball denser. Have you heard of this technique? Lew |

Here is the only one I have in my club collection. Notice the root ball head and the reddish color of the wood which you only see on the older 19th century clubs. Lew |
