Picked up a 15 lb bag of these dowels at a flea market the othe day for a buck. Is maple better for swimmers or floaters? Or kindling... They're 9" long. The skinny part is 1" wide. The fat part is 1 1/4" wide.

Best for surface stuff. I can see polaris poppers already in the making. !!!

perfect for needles once you're done turning them. need to seal that wood though.

A big weird swimmer and a big popper body.

I resalized O could turn two samll plugs at the same time...
Bottom row are top water poppers. Need to do the front still.
Top row are small swimmers. I wonder if they will be too heavy given the density of the wood And how that will affect the actoin of the plugs.

That little nose kinda does it. That one's my favorite as well.

Will probably be a little on the heavy side for swimmers if you want them to stay on top. Shapes look nice:btu:
