Title: Museum-Quality Zav's
Post by: Uncle JJ on May 13, 2015, 11:17:56 AM
I just received an amazing package from Brian.  This is some fine work!  The final photo is an eye-popper (can you guess the wood?)!  Brian, many thanks, bro, stunning wood and craftsmanship!

Wow.

Walnut, Mulberry, Zebra and Ebony? The backside to the Zebra handle is a different shape...what's the story?

Could it be that the Zebra handles are for an SS Proformer, perhaps?

I need to get on the Zav-wagon. Those are gorgeousness

Answer:
2 Walnuts - to be used on a couple of avocado's
1 Spalted Maple - to be used on a beautiful limey - Brian came up with this idea, and it will look super
1 Set Zebra's - YES, that small handle is matching SS  - to be used on my Kentucky-themed Blue SS
1 Gaboon Ebony - in need of the perfect grill - Brain said he had some ebony, so I had to indulge

So, what color/type kettle would work best with the Ebony?

I was going to call the black one for Snake Wood. I think that's what was used for knife handles right?
