Design

In 2015 fantail cricket was founded to express a passion for creating custom-made cricket bats and stylish products. Why fantail? The fantail is a native bird to new zealand but they can also be found around the world and with it’s friendly behaviour we thought it was an easy choice to represent our brand. It was important for us to design a website that customers could not only purchase custom made bats online with ease. We really wanted to give people an insight into process of making a fantail cricket bat.

Manufacturing

Our products are made using both traditional and modern manufacturing techniques. We use a collection of vintage tools collected over time including planes, draw knives, spokeshaves, heel shaves and many more. We also use an array of new equipment including different types of saws and state of the art sanding and polishing machines to get the best finish possible.

Craftsmanship

To ensure overall quality 90% of the making of a fantail bat is all done using hand tools. With 10% still done by hand but using power tools and various other machinery to perfect every detail. We take pride in everything that we make. We also work with a number of like-minded local businesses.
