A parcel arrived yesterday that was loaded with some really cool
@zavod44 handles.
PLUS while at the mini-meet in SoCal
@Troy presented me a
really special handle also made by Brian...
You need to check these out!! :o

And last but not least this amazing little beauty. I believe it is made of
Padauk?? (Confirmed as Cocobolo) ... and possibly ground up unicorn horns? ;) This thing is
really sweet. My camera isn't even doing the rich graining justice! The custom box is a work of art on it's own let alone the handle - Thank you both very very much!

Zav's badass handles have inspired me to try and learn how to make some myself... we'll see how that goes :)
Such a cool little piece of craftsmanship!
Thanks again guys,
Matt
Very, very nice! Hmmmmm .... that mahogany looks familiar. ??? :)
@zavod44 - amazing work! That end-grain Zebra wood is what I'd love for the special handles you're making for me!!
Matt, you've certainly earned it. Enjoy!
Those are all gorgeous, the Statesman handle is out of this world!
The statesmen handles are Chocobolo :)
Ooooh...........ahhhh........oooh.........mmmmmh.
Bloody hell. Sounds like I am having sex.
Nice handles.
What an awesome workmanship!!!
Beautiful handles and well deserved recognition :)
Enjoy!!!
That's good stuff there! Love the box. Chocobolo...love it.
Great looking handles! The Statesman one is out of the world, congratulations!
I know I owe a few statesmen their special handles. I'll get them out this month. Promise :)
Those are gorgeous !!!!
Even the simple straightforward wood ones are extremely nice......wondering if Brian will get to the redwood burl at some point.....

@MacEggs I had to go buy my own stash of mahogany, I had so many requests after people saw yours...I still have your pile kept seperate don't worry ;)
@Uncle JJ I'm working on your end grain handles....working on artwork....
@1buckie I have been cutting some of that wood. I should have something for you in the next few weeks.....I promise I'm working on them
It's a crazy juggling act making all the handles. I promise to everyone I am working on all orders, all special orders, everyone will get their stuff. As always if anyone needs anything special please contact me and we can work it all out......
All beautiful handles. Amazing Statesman handle and box.
someone should merge all the Zav handles threads so that all the cool pics are in one place
Those handles are gorgeous .
nice wood going on there.
Zav handles are really good. They are well worth the wait! I purchased some last fall and as soon as I decide where they belong I will post some pics.

No push at all, man ..... 8)
I KNOW how busy & crazy this deal is for you..... :o
Time is relative when it comes to art......remember, most of that wood is for general consumption to other members & I still got a ton of interesting stuff to cut to near useable sizes..... ;D
There's some black walnut buried in one of those boxes that may prove stellar in the finished product also !!!
You sent me some kind of walnut and it's awesome, I lasered them two days ago you will be happy.....

No push from me either,
@zavod44. I'm in no rush at all - still have a lot of work to do on the grill before I need the handles!

I understand there is quite a demand... Are you still taking orders? I would be interested to get in line!
