Countdown to 5K prize has arrived!
« on: November 13, 2016, 07:03:31 PM »
I was fortunate enough to win the Countdown to 5K for WKC membership that @Cellar2ful sponsored. The prize is a beautiful WKC logo handle, crafted by @zavod44 from Asian satin burl. The description from Cellar2ful/Jim stated that wood, (Lagerstroemia Calyculata) is from Southeast Asia (Laos) - local name "Pood mai Puay", and that of all of the exotic wood handles he has had Brian make for him, this wood has the most beautiful grains.

It arrived on Saturday. Gorgeous handle. The problem? No clue which kettle to put it on. The answer? The red MT I scored this past September. Why the Red MT? Because Jim had unknowingly, 35 days before the contest ended, told me to…  8)

Nice score.  I have a twin to that redhead I bought new in 99. You will love the angry red color it gets when hot.  Just need to put the new Zav wood on it when you win the countdown contest (lol).

Very familiar with the angry red... Lookin forward to firing her up! And looking forward to (apparently) winning the countdown contest! 

I'm thinking this handle is much too nice to be a cooker. We'll see…

Thanks again, Jim!!

@Bob BQ - The handle looks stunning on your double E MT.  I do remember that exchange now. That is funny.  Must have had a clairvoyant moment.

I would put that on a cooker so I could see it every time I cooked.

It looks OK in the picture.  It looks fantastic in real life. I've found that pictures do no justice to how great these wood handles are.

Lets just say I have acquired a few Kettles.  Big and small.   Vintage and New...  Some say I have a problem.  I find the Kettle, buy the Kettle, USE the Kettle...No problem...

@zavod44 - Yes, the wood is amazing but it is your woodworking skills that makes it possible for us all to enjoy having some on our kettles.  Thank you Brian.

Completely agree. This handle truly is a looker.
