Thanks everyone. I used the same stain @harleysmoker mentioned when he did up his handles, golden pecan. Put the stain on and let it set for 5 min then wiped off. I'll be putting a couple coats of urethane on today and tomorrow to seal it all off.

Got even more pics! Busy day today. A couple of trips to my local ACE and now she is upright! I still have to weld the holes from where the previous handle was, but otherwise she's almost ready to cook on. I just need a bottom grate and some other odds and ends (like an ash catcher). I also had to install thumb screws into the legs so they wouldn't fall out.

That is special. I'd take a kettle with a story and some character over a mint one any day. Is this your first 26?  You will love the extra real estate.

Yes this is my first 26er. This resto-mod has been pretty fun so far. I have to weld up some holes where the previous handle was so I can start on the lid bale. I just ordered a bunch of different parts from ereplacementparts.com (ash pan, bottom grate, and clips) so ill post some pics of ZZ when the new ash pan is fitted.

So a little more progress. I fixed the legs and welded up the holes left from the old handle on the back. I am waiting for all my goodies I ordered from ereplacementparts. Ill post pics when I get off work or tomorrow.
