Handle restoration?

[etruax]

Not as good as Java's work but still a big improvement.  Went with the Minwax stain/poly mix in Pecan Satin.

FYI...I have some of Brian's handles and am a big fan.

Nice job. I also like how the original old teakwoods clean up.

That looks way better than my handles.   The problem I have is they look great in the garage. Then after they get snowed on or rained on the finish starts to show spots.   I know I need some covers.  I probably don't let them dry long enough between coats and my water based poly is old.   Most of mine are just temporary until I decide which kettles I will really keep.  Then I am sending some $$$ to Brian for a few cool handles with a Weber logo. I will also order one from Marty with some cool engraving like:

The Other Woman

Obsession

Tracy's Pit

Anyway, your  handle looks great.

Nice Eric.  Looks swell.  (And I know it is too late, but despite what the Aussie says, Spar varnish is what I have used with some success on that era of wood handles.)

Hahha, those aren't teak man!  Trust us!

I wonder if that's a special logo I can just barely make out on my Sequoia. Looks like it could be Imperial.

I try to make the handles for those who are doing restorations on the old grills and who want to replace the new crappy plastic handles...either way the wood ones perform better than the plastic ones.  The plastic gets so hot you burn your hands..the wood can handle much more heat.  Let's face it, the wood ones look "Oh So Choice"......

Brian, have you considered (or is it a possible) to make the "Weber - The One The Only" handles?

I did then I forgot!  I'll look into it again, thanks for reminding me....
