Bocce is a sport that has its roots as far back as the Roman Empire and with that respect, a Bocce set should be treated with utmost respect which means plastic or mass produced set would not do justice to this elegant game. in this aspect, we think a young design company by the name of P.F. Wilfong & Co. might have hit the nail on the head. instead of the cheap resin set typically found today, the folks at P.F. Wilfong & Co. is determined to create a modern heirloom which could be past down from generation to generation – a classic game in a true classic design. inspired by the hand-turned wooden Bocce of the 1970s, P.F. Wilfong & Co sets out to recreate a tournament set that could be worthy of a heirloom and a lifestyle accessory that would look good even when not playing. heck. it even look good when in transit – thanks to its accompanying handy bag that’s crafted from 18oz cotton canvas, tastefully trimmed in leather and is totally made in the USA.
the Avo Bocce is a hand-finished oak bocce set that comes complete with said classic canvas gaming bag, and includes eight 4″ solid oak balls, a 2″ hard maple pallino, and two custom made scorebooks to keep track of the game progress. if you are looking for a solid set of Bocce that looks as good as its function and one that could be handed down for generations, the Avo Bocce would be the one. the folks is putting this beautiful set up on Kickstarter and seeking for 25 grand to fund the production of the Avo Bocce. you can help to make it a reality by making a pledge of $225 or more. as with any Kickstarter project, the project will only go through if it hits its minimal funding goal. check out a project video after the break.
