Just picked up a couple Redhead grills

[Josh Dekubber]

Finished for now. Still have to decide what I want to do with the wood. For now I just sanded down the original wood and haven't decided what I want to put on it. Going on vacation for the next couple weeks and then when I get back I'll get some really nice replacement wood. I'm thinking most likely that sappy maple I posted earlier.

Wow !!!! Thats a beauty!

Let me know when you first fire it up --- I'll come over with a flat of chicken and a bottle of bbq sauce to season it properly!

 

[Josh Dekubber]

DEAL!!!!!!

 

[Jim Weber]

We'll get it good and goopy!

 

[Cody Bratton]

Nice work! Pretty good turnaround time, too!

 

[Josh Dekubber]

Thank you! Probably about two and a half days at a medium pace. But I still want to do new wood.

I keep having stupid little set backs that are starting to really piss me off!

One of my end caps was kind of rough like that on the inside but not the outside.

I don't see anything wrong with the wood that's on it. Put a nice stain on it and call it done

I'm sitting here right now thinking about going back out in the garage. I have plenty of stain to choose from

Yea you could clear that and leave it as a natural look if you wanted

I really want to get this sappy Walnut though!
I think it would look so nice and I could use the wood that's on it for different projects.

That looks nice. I just used cedar and stained it and cleared it heavy.

I bet that turned out really nice also!

I think I'm going to go out and try some stain on the wood I currently have on it

Wonderful job! I err on side of keeping things original mostly and if i get a newish grill with the slats in good order i retain the Weber orange/fake tan look for authenticity.

However, i have been tempted with swapping for something more exotic but then i remind myself its a grill!!

Again, sterling effort and the bug has got hold you now!! Ur f@@ked
