I finished up some needles and some big polaris's last weekend. I've still got one set of pencils to go that I made for some friends and then its time for me to clean the shop & put it all away..

The needles are big and should go deep. They are 8" long and have a lot of lead in them. They around 3 .5 oz.

Then some big polaris's, these are 6 1/2 inch and right around 3 1/2 oz.

And you guys got me thinking about mack stripes so I've been messing around with a mack stencil. It came out ok, a lot better than I was doing free hand but I'll make a beter one next year.

Love those pencils Dave!!!!

When you visiting SC?

Sorry Mike, not this week. I'll have to paint one of the white ones I was doing mac pattern for you. We've got a few people that go between SC and LB every week, so I can relay em to you.

love the herring polaris with the false eye ... just looks special... all good Dave ,,, have a great season ..

beautiful work. They will catch good for you I bet

Those mac pencils will come in handy in a few weeks! Good luck with them Dave.

Snap a few off in Buzzards Bay, please.
