Old Stove Restoration - Man cave stove.

[matefrio]

My cousin restores old stoves. He "picks" them around the US and then brings them back to Midland\Odessa TX for restoration. Thought I'd show off for him.

How he finds them, in old barns and storage.

Back from a picking trip.

Nice find. Old cooking stove ready for restoration.

Red stove

Bronze finial that tops the red stove.​

This one is over 6 foot tall.

Looks exactly like one we sold a guy last Spring. He was from somewhere in West Texas? (the one ifarthest away from the pic close to the front of the truck). Don't really think it was him though, different truck.

Beautiful! They don't make 'em like they used to. I know that's cliche but it seems appropriate here.

My cousin restores old stoves.

Does he restore other cast iron implements? I have a Hollywood reloading press I'd love to get restored. If you'd prefer, you can reply via PM.

Where do the stoves usually go after completion? Does he sell out of a store or do they ship out on internet sales? Or does he have buyers lined up waiting? Just curious. Looks cool.

In a word, yes to all. He's new to the Internet but has been selling them word of mouth out of his shop and cosigned out of

Cottonwood Lodge in Eagle Nest New Mexico.

I'll ask if he knows someone. He's been busy with the stoves lately so I don't know if he'd have time.

Beautiful. People really built stuff to last back in the day.

Imagine one of those stoves in an old farm house. Set on about 10k acres of property around Ballinger Tx. Keeping you warm right before a hunt.

Pure romantic
