Got some nickel back from Brian at Mill Lake. Turned out awesome as always.
Love the three-dimensional look of the dark "back ground" to the polished "raised" surfaces. Most plating is all polished or not polished but all the same color and it doesn't "pop" like that contrast !!!!!!

I agree Paul. Brian will do it either way but I like the black background. Makes the castings look so much better. I’m a sucker for Acorns, this is my 3rd. Really happy with the Alert but like to change every couple years to test my skills. I’m sure it will be a new learning curve when I get this one fired up. Someday I may get crazy and fire up the Imperial Acorn.

Stove looks great.

You have to keep swapping out stoves throughout the season. Keeps the stoves from getting jealous of each other. :o Once one stove gets jealous, it won't work right.
Plus stove dusting gets old fast. Why wipe the dust off, when you can burn it off. :yes: :clap:

As always Tomahawk did an excellent job recasting the firepot.

If you're old enough to remember televisions with vacuum tubes you know there is NOTHING like the intoxicating aroma of dust burning. :lol:

:yes:

Mixed with the smell of varnish from a real wooden TV cabinet getting warmed by the high heat given off by all those tubes. Some of those old tube TV sets could warm a room almost as well as a coal stove. :D
