oh yummy!! Love those off the vine, and the grape maters. So sweet!!


Howdy F2V, not that I know of, but I don't keep up on it. Maybe Bamrz or someone will chime in on that

Was thinking about another BB, but am waiting to hear/read what the updates are before buying (just in case I can't live without it).

I am watching with one eye closed. I like change but I am nervous of what it might be.

I definitely agree with this!

I would have been sorely tempted if I hadn't recently purchased the Lila Monster for my wife....I like the look of the RatBrass, but I really hate the maintenance that would go along with keeping the brass shiny...

We are in the process of making some more wood panels for them. Still needs some sanding and another couple of coats.

It's actually an Australian timber called mallee (from the roots) They grow in swampy areas by the side of our rivers. It's normally just scrappy root wood that people burn in their fireplaces (us included) but we open them up and take some good bits of burl out of them. Very hard wood and doesn't take stain very well but still some beautiful swirls.

oh wow.....the other mods I use that are sometimes done in woods....the last wood sale, there was a red mallee and that was on top of so many people's list. It was gorgeous!!

You have to applaud anyone that works with this mallee wood. It's really tough on tools and blades but the results can be spectacular. It's also really stable so finishes last for ages.

We pretty much only work with local woods that we pickup from our local area while we are out walking, makes them a bit unstable but interesting.

I loved the red mallee's that were for sale, but I did not even try for it because the way everyone was raving about them, I think there were 2 of them, not sure. I had 4 I was going to try for and ended up with one of them, a Purple Heart with a maple burl door. It was my prize, and still is.

Kongrats, Krisma, on the new replacement panels for Coco, and also for the gorgeous wooden ones you're doing!
WOW! Great work, team K-B!

Welp, I dunno what's coming future wise for BBV, but I do know this: I WANT ONE! Yeppers, done dealio. I will have one! (at least one!)

purple heart with a maple birdseye door was my fav. I was thinking there was 1 red mallee, but I'm likely wrong. I know the person that got the one I am thinking of, decided to sell it, and we all know the sweetheart that ended up getting it.

It was ultimately a given konklusion..... let's be honest. Who around here is NOT going to want a new, marvelous BBV creation???

I am clueless! Looking forward to seeing what's up too!
