Hurley Planks

We at West Bio Group believe in supporting and protecting the age old local Irish hurley-makers and attempt to save their livelihoods and this indigenous traditional craft from being lost to our future generations. West Bio Group are now supplying our local craftsmen with top quality Ash Timber Planks ready for their personalised skilled shaping.

Our policy on this matter is simply "that Hurling and hurley-making belongs here in Ireland just as much as Irish music and Irish dancing".

"To take hurley-making out of Ireland is a total disregard for the Irish heritage and needs to be protected by the GAA and its Players".

Right: A Typical Ash Wood Plank

Our Planks are personally cut from specially selected Ash Trees and then individually hand sorted by close inspection selecting only the finest flawless pieces. The planks are dried by natural means and after each piece's final inspection the ends are waxed sealed, palletised and then transported to our Warehouses in Dublin & Loughrea, Co.Galway.
