Okay these are my test run,. I found this wood on my brother-n-laws property. They were under some trees and had been fence post from the ranch. This is first generation redwood that was rough huned probably a 100 years again. I took only one post and brought it home and cut her down. The red was almost a burgundy and the smell was like no redwood I have ever seen.
Better yet the grain was the tightest redwood grain I had ever seen. The plugs carved great and after 3, yes three coats of clear coat epoxy this is what they came out as. I am thinking one more coat of clear coat as the first two coats were absorbed right into the wood! anyway let me know what you think.

8 inch round head

8 inch needle

8 inch pencil popper

8 inch flat head

:kewl: wow!

Another pencil popper

Okay this is the last one round head pikie weighted under the chin 9 inches.

perty.. are those weighted ? nice tack eyes ,, I'll look for those.. If possible I put the tight part of grain on the sides when not weighting ..

Looks like you took a blowtorch to some pine, then clearcoated it:p




You gonna fish those?

Pristine Winch:D I've got a genuine redwwod picnic table thats been layin in the yard for 30 yrs. Only problem is some green mold.Do ya think it's still good for turnin if i dry it out good:huh:
It's true 2 in stock:)

yes all are weighted an the weight show.. normally I put the grain the other way but I artistected it and made them look like a scale pattern.

Good stuff winch :kewl: So, that trip to the east coast really messed with your head huh. Plug dimensions in inches rather than onces :confused: :smash: :D :laughs:

No you might fish yours when you get it bubba, but I'm sure you'll hang it.
The picture color is darker than the wood, The color is red not burnt. Dark red and light red. Just cool to look at.

Thanks for the pm winch:btu:

I love the pencil's. Very unique stuff.
