Four Corners of Copper - A Zavod44 - inspired Bisbee Upgrade
« on: April 08, 2017, 10:02:41 PM »

Recently, I posted about a really nice custom plaque that Brian did for me:





That is copper inlaid into ebony wood.  The workmanship is pretty amazing.  He has also fabricated the custom handle with "Weber" inlaid in the same ebony wood:





I got home Friday from a business trip to find that a second parcel had arrived from Chicago, and I quickly opened it to find this:





The Weber plaque I had expected - what I did not know about was the custom end caps that Brian had dreamed up and fabricated for Bisbee.  Here is what they look like installed:

















Such a cool gift, and an accessory I never would have thought of doing.  I think the copper end pieces really tie everything together, and they look SOOOO much better than the black plastic pieces they replace!


Thank you @zavod44 , not only for the amazing plaques, custom inlaid handle, and copper corner pieces,  but also for your thoughtfulness and contributions to Bisbee.

@Winz
....I remember seeing this "kettle" (can we even still  call Bisbee just a kettle?) when it was ordinary, with just a few hints of expansions into what has now become the realm of art....

Brian totally gets this, it's obvious !!!!

Thank you both for taking this into that realm of high art !!!!

One of the best custom performer. Nice black and copper contrast going everywhere giving a retro look. Overall, very clean looking with a gas bottles hidden away. Nicely done!  Zav is the man when it comes to customizing your kettles.
