Birth year restore in NC - Hunters’ Pink Statesman 1970

[robs2]

Before I fire it up, I understand that I should put some oil or fat on the rust spots. What is the best material to use for this? I read one post that said to use raw bacon!


WTB: rubber-treaded wheels for 22" 69-70 Pat Pending.

Gorgeous redhead! Definitely leave the original handle on there! As much as I love Zavod handles (and believe me, I do!) when the original one is in good shape, leave it on! It adds to the character. Even Zavod himself will tell you that. Also, SWEET replica buoy in the background!


HOLY GRAILS: 1950s era Black or Custom finish 18.5 or 22.5 Kettle, Brown Go Anywhere grill.

@56mpg I found this pic from the gallery...your 18.5" red. What would you say the color/stain is for the handle. I want to make mine on this thread this color.

@robs2 that's not my red, but I do have one in the gallery. The gallery is kind of broken at this point, so I can't ID which kettle that is you are looking at. The one in your pic looks like a red oak with a clear finish to me. @zavod44 might know best if a stain was used - it looks like his handywork.
