About a year ago, @Jon Tofte entrusted to me the restoration of a Woodard Orleans. Relay/RRR Roadtrip
http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/index.php?topic=36383 I dropped off the Orleans at my local powdercoating company and picked a neutral gray color from Woodard’s color wheel. My thought on picking this color was it would compliment the many different colored MBHs. I can’t find that thread now, but thank you to whomever posted that Woodard color palette.
While the cart was getting repaired and repainted, I decided to move the original bowl and lid on to another member who also scored an Orleans that didn’t come with an original bowl. In its place, I used a plum OTP bowl and lid that I got from @DrewZ a couple years ago. I had been holding onto this beautiful kettle for a special occasion, and I felt the Orleans cart would be a perfect match.
While I waited for the cart to return, I had time to add a few fun items, like a CnT ring and really hard to find 18” roti setup from @Ramsfan, who threw in a super sweet wienie wheel too! Also added in SS sweeps, courtesy of Weber CS. That’s right, they still have 18” SS sweeps in stock!
Once I had the cart and the kettle, the final piece of the puzzle was a cutting board. A very timely post by @SmokeVide provided my solution, a WKC-sourced custom cutting board. And guys, let me tell you, the walnut board SmokeVide made is just simply beautiful. I sent him pictures of my project and his craftsmanship and creativity took over... check out the custom WKC work on the ends!
Completing this project has been a lot of fun. Thank you very much to each WKC member who contributed. I can’t wait to spin a few cooks on my restomodded Orleans.
Thanks for looking.
