A while back, my wife was asking for some ideas for Father's Day gifts, and I of course put in a not-too-subtle hint about Brian's (zavod) handles.  Which he of course came through on like a champ-- I've given his handles to others, but these are my first ones for myself, and they are spectacular. 

Anyway, I guess in their emailing about the surprise, my wife asked Brian for some other ideas, and he said the thing *he* was hoping for on June 16 was a Craycort grate.  Badabing, my kids delivered one to the side of the bed this morning with a cup of coffee.  Awesome.  A perfect gift, because it's something I would never even think to get for myself. 

So Brian, my friend, here's to you!

before/after.  The attention to detail that Brian brings is astounding:



(pardon the dust and grease-- she's a cooker, not a looker)

I'm glad they got there in time....I was wondering. They look awesome, I hoped the wood I picked for you was satisfactory.  Your wife contacted me and I knew I had a perfect piece of Maple for your handles.....The Craycort looks great as well.  Those grills are really pimped out now.....

I love the wood, the finish, and everything, Brian.  Perfect.  Thanks so much.

Are the Performer handles oak?  They seem really dark, though.  Love them!

Happy Father's day! I have similar looking handles  on my performer and Brian told me they are Walnut.
