Willow Grading
- Special Reserve clefts are selected based on the only criteria – performance
- In case of a Private Bin cleft having too many cosmetic imperfections, it will be transferred to Special Reserve
- Similarly, if a cosmetically Grade 2 cleft performs too well, it will be upgraded to Special Reserve category
- You might even find cosmetically stunning Grade 1 clefts which didn’t perform to the level of a Private bin will be transferred into this category but could not be sold as Grade 2
- Defects and heartwood are common in this grade with a grain structure anywhere from 5-6 grains
