Description
A full set of Northamptonshire Skittle Pins and Cheeses. This set is handmade from Beech wood by an expert woodturner in the UK. The set consists of 9 pins and 3 cheeses.
These pins are noticeably lighter than boxwood but, Masters Traditional Games did some play-testing in 2024 with a batch of Beech wood pins and cheeses and we found that they played nicely. A great option for beginners, home users and for non-league pub games.
The Northamptonshire pins are approximately 6 inches (160mm) high. The cheeses fit snugly in the hand at around 3 1/2 inches (90mm) diameter. Pins are provided polished, oiled or varnished for additional protection.
Please note that these pins tend to dent more readily than boxwood and will not last as long. For leagues that play seriously and/or very regularly, they may not last a season and Boxwood is a better bet. But for less intensive use, they will be fine.
