Standard croquet set consisting of 6 solid wood, sturdy mallets, 6 hardwood handcarved balls, handcarved wickets, posts stored in a solid wood carrying frame. Wickets are contained in a "cave art" decorated leather pouch. Instructions for croquet course layout also included, though in true "free spirit" Neanderthal fashion we suggest an "anything goes", freeflowing course. It's more challenging and personalized when you design your own course layout.

Customers can choose the wooden wickets, or copper.

Cost:

$200/complete set, guaranteed for life... yours! Our sets are built solid and tough, and there has never been any broken mallets balls or wickets. Our lifetime guarantee is for "normal wear". If you fling your mallet at your cave wall, well, that's another matter. But if something should break when it shouldn't have, we'll very gladly fix or replace. Shipping/handling is extra, usually between $25-$50 depending on locale.

History:

It all started when our pal Mick asked us to make a mallet for a croquet match he was attending. So Caveman Dave crafted a great, wondrous, burly mallet. The next day Mick let us know that his mallet blew everyone outta the park! He said "you really might want to make full croquet sets". And thus the start of the CRO-MAGNON CROQUET Co. We've crafted many a sturdy set for many clans who tell us they've had great hours of fun hosting Woolly Mammoth barbecues and all-day croquet matches. There've been Nude Neanderthal Games, Paleolethic Polo matches with racing Saber Tooth tigers as "ponies"... there's no end to the fun! But seriously, families who have bought our sets (10 so far), make a point of stopping by our SATURDAY MARKET booth to tell us the great good times they have had with family and friends playing Cro-Magnon Croquet.

As you can see by the photos, our sets are truly unique. You won't find anything like it in the world of croquet. One of our slogans is "You can play wussy, or play WILD-- with Cro-Magnon Croquet"

We're proud of our recycling values.. we forage for materials in forests surrounding our cave, making good use of downed trees. We use oak, cherry, maple, yew, madrone, fir, ash and whatever good, solid woods we can forage and gather. David's eagle eyes "hunt" and "Gatherer Carol" hauls, with his help. It's been great to hear from happy clans that these downed trees are finding new life in many hours of rousing games.
