A month off, some tournament dates, and ice kubb

Posted by Josh Feathers on Tuesday, January 11, 2011,
So I essentially took December off from kubb. Sorry kubb; I won't let it happen again. Lots of travel, work requirements, family time, and holiday kept me away from the website, the rules, and my kubb duties.

I was able to manage to get one game in so far this winter. Under the moon-lit night and the radiant glow of a propane latern, my Tony and I felt the wrath of Uncle Steve and his minions, KML and Matty J. With 4 of their 5 baselines down (and our line unscathed) we managed to still get de...

The Most Beautiful....

Posted by Josh Feathers on Tuesday, October 26, 2010, In : Kubb Sets 
Here is the kubb set built by Tim Arends of Arends Production Services; arguably the most beautiful set ever played:


This set went at the 2010 Fall Kubb Klassic for a measly $165.00 - all proceeds going to Iowa CASA
I will try to get photos of it after it has been played (oh yeah, the proud owner played it that night).


I would like to compile some of the nicest sets ever made; please send me photos of these works of art and I will share them in future "these".

He is now known to me as Mr. Awesome

Thanks Mr. Awesome.



Mr. Awesome is planning on making a set for silent auction made of Locust. It will be amazing.

The Jekyll and Hyde set

Posted by Josh Feathers on Saturday, October 2, 2010, In : Kubb Sets 
The set with split personalities. Made from ash, the set is essentially half dark and half light wood. 3 dark batons, 3 light batons. Beautiful knots and heavy as lead. The Kubbmaster General himself built this set, and I am proud to have a set with a dark side...

 
1st coat of tung oil brings out some crazy coloring. 
 Nicknamed King Kong, it's the heaviest I have ever lifted


Complete with my first stab at woodburning. That is supposed to be a feather.

(or how I learned to stop worrying and love the King)

 I built the set I learned to play on, so I guess I’ve been a kubb builder longer than a kubb player (a little over two years of each at the time of this writing) and during that time I’ve built, or helped to build, dozens of kubb sets. Things were a little rough going in the beginning since every website I found with directions seemed to have different dimensions for the pieces (it took a little while for me to find the official worldw...
