The first kubb set I played on was handcrafted by Garry Sack over in Wausau, Wisconsin. He’s been working and turning wood for the multiple decades I’ve know him. I’ve long admired his work and have 2 of his gorgeous wooden bowls in my house.
He was the first person I asked to create the traveling trophy for the Planet Kubb Club Championship. He brought in Lonnie Nylund to assist and they created custom tools to get some of the detailing.
The stunning result, the Nylund Sack Trophy, is a loving cup comprised of cherry, walnut, and maple atop three miniature kubbs representing the three teams from the winning club.
The trophy is perfectly proportioned with Kubb King.
It is a phenomenal piece with details that you continue to discover long after looking at it. Notice the three bands echoing the three teams of the winning club.
Supported by three miniature Kubbs. The Kubb Club that wins the Planet Kubb US Kubb Club Championship will get to take this trophy home for the year. It will return each year to the pitches of Eau Claire to be defended, or leave to spend the next year with the new top club. Will your club host the Nyland Sack Trophy for the next year? Register for the 2013 Planet Kubb US Kubb Club Championship!
