Has anyone else been watching the membership tally? The club is fast approaching 5,000 members. With the blessings of
@Troy and the craftsmanship of Brian
@zavod44 , there is going to be a contest to see if anyone can predict the date the counter flips to 5,000 members. The prize will be a custom Zav handle. I am donating a block of Asian Satin Burl wood for Brian (Zavod44) to custom make the handle. Entry into the contest starts when this post is published and ends at midnight on Sunday, September 4. That gives everyone a week to get out their abacus and calculate their date. If there are multiple people who pick the winning date, all the winners names will be put in a hat and my wife will draw the winner. I can't afford to put Zav handles on 4,999 member kettles.
Just post a reply on this thread with the date you pick.
One entry per member and again the entry deadline is by midnight, Sunday, 9/4/16
Good Luck!
Here is what the handle will be cut from:
