The shape of the skittles in the last photo look superb, just sent you an email about a little project you might like to do.

they are called long alley skittles and that is the nottinghamshire shape.

dozens.

i'll tell you how to turn the mallet head too if you like.

i'll see if there is anything kicking about up the workshop.

here is one of my more labour intensive commissions i've had for a while.

all in all i had to make 12 american ash croquet mallets plus 12 posts made from robinia (i was asked not to paint the coloured the band's), six sets of 10" X 4" beech skittles (not pictured), and 5 sets of draughts comprising of 12 a side, one half was ash and the other was Makore. 120 in total was soooo boring...

i worked out that the draughts pieces alone took about 13 minutes for each one so that's about 26 hours for 5 sets which did not include cutting out the blanks.
