Lucille And Peach Do A Photo Shoot

[MrHoss]

I was home today preparing for a test tomorrow...the type guys put off if they can.  Me and the Crane are friends today.  I had thought to do a family picture but that is too much work and I am too weak.  It was a very nice sunny day so I cut the lawn, did a little cleanup and got Lucille (K code redhead) and Peach out:













No solid food for me today so this is as close to good Q as I get:





The handles on Lucille are not quite finished.  They have been sanded then filled from behind with a mix of glue and sawdust due to deep cracking.  I stained them with gun stock twice to try and even out the colour then about 15 coats of satin spar.  I just kept adding more coats till the tops evened out.

The handles before I started in:

That's a couple of beautiful kettles you got there!

Fine looking kettles. Great job refiinishing the handles on peach.

Stunning

Beautiful kettles (especially the texture on Peach and that beautiful restore job on the handles), and I'm hoping for the best with your tests tomorrow, Hoss.  I've got a red K, and it's nowhere near as nice as yours.

Beautiful grills and pics! I especially love these two pics!

I especially love these two pics!

Me too.  I just happened on the right light for that type of shot.  I figured it might look really cool with the dark background.  Wish I had a better camera...like L.B..  His pictures of Peach taken before I took her into my care are superior.

The texture on Peach is great.  I noticed this reflection in the ash pan today:



My neighbours must think I am nuts hauling bbqs around the yard taking pictures of them...sometimes from the top of a ladder!!!

Beatuies!  Seriously, amazing job on those handles.  They look like new.  Glue & sawdust?  Crazy.  I've gotta try that.
