Thank you very much!Gorgeous work. Gotta laugh. You said "Horseshoe" shims and then I thought "yikes what doesn't this guy do". Assuming you actually did Ferrier work on the side

I hear you there. I grew up on a farm primarily dairy farm but had horses and just about everything else. I prefer motorized transportation.

They scare me a little bit too. I've ridden a couple of horses where I definitely didn't feel like I was in charge of what was happening.

A respect for horses is a good idea. Many injuries occur, even by accident. Horse moves neck, leans, obviously kicks, both back and side cow kicks.
Farrier. Fair e er.

So I had a vision and I wanted to see it through. I'm really happy with how it turned out. It turned out exactly how I wanted it to. That said I really like this 1000LX in its original form with the gray Durawood equally as much. I have all the original Durawood in its original z-metal and if I restore a worthy grill I may put this wood on it and put the original Durawood back on this one. Either way I love this grill. I wish I could share my results with @Rich Dahl. This one's for you Rich

Yes, you can always put it back to original if the mood hits you to do so. I also want to mention that you did a great job matching the grain of that wood along with getting the spacing right on all the tables. Those are not small details.

Thank you Steve! Anything worth doing is worth doing right.
I made 3 handles and they all turned out so good it was hard to decide.
Steve Hoch
TVWBB Hall of Fame
I thought you would make a more traditional handle, but that one looks really good too.
Josh Dekubber
TVWBB Diamond Member
I still want to try to make a traditional one. I have 4 pieces left. 2 finished and two unfinished raw.

Practice on a piece of wood you don't care about first.
Josh Dekubber
TVWBB Diamond Member
I have a 5th piece that's warped so that would be perfect.
Steve Hoch

Yeah, that's the one.

The character of the wood is remarkable. Gorgeous restoration, Josh! It’s a true beauty, with either real wood or durawood.
You should throw a redhead on it, with the wood slats and take a pic. Personally, I think the redheads look way sharper with the real wood than any other color (blue included).

Thank you Cody!
I have 3 more Redheads on deck for restoration so maybe that will be my move!
I took a picture where the lid looked black and the wood looked great also.
Steve Hoch

I don't know, I think a black lid with real wood is pretty sharp too.
Josh Dekubber

Damn right! Did you see my edit and picture added above?
Steve Hoch

I did, and it looks great that way too. I don't know why, but the bright red lids don't appeal to me too much. I do like the maroon ones though.
