Very cool story @Lightning  It would cool to have that grill someday.
A blue is on my list

Hopefully I'll end up with it when the time comes, but I hope that isn't for a long time to come.

Nice! Love those handles.   I been trying to hold off and not say anything till I got them, but I can't.

I should be getting whole bunch of Zavs handles soon. Maybe next week.  I am trying to cover off most of exotic variety that I like.  Some of them are high figured cedar.  Hope they look good as yours.   When I get them, I will showcase them individually and on my kettles.  I can not wait to get them and show off.

@Cellar2ful I love that pic of your blue. It's my favorite next to a blue mbh. That handle is incredible.

I think you will find that the handles will look better that that picture from @Cellar2ful .  No disrespect intended and I'm sure Cellar2ful will agree with me here.  No matter how good the pictures look, they are a flat 2 dimensional representation of the actual handle. Once you see the real thing, there is a certain iridescence with the way the light plays with the grain and the varnish... it changes as you move the handle and the angle of the light changes.

I'm sure you will enjoy them very much. Brian does fantastic work.

No intent to hijack the thread but does anyone have a pic of the cedar on a redhead?  Might these look good on an SSP in red?

I think it will look better on Red. Wait till I get my handles. I will post up pics when I get them next week.

I will post pics of different color kettle combo with diff. woods. Hopefully you guys can pick your favorite and order up from Zav without guessing how it will look on your kettle.

They look fantastic on a red head. Don't have pics right now as I gave the red to a friend a few months ago, but it will probably be coming back soon since he's just fallen in love with vintage red Gennie's and has recently acquired 3, and is running out of room.
