Id like to build some hand carved lures for some people that have helped me out in the past either with fishing or just in general as a thank you gift.

what types of wood are you guys using?

sorry if this was covered somewhere else on the site. I suck at searches.

Select Eastern White Pine or Sugar Pine is ideal. Basswood is good as well.

Numbskull are those banana style plugs in your pic?? and if so how do i get one?

Thanks for the info too!

basswood is a perfect wood for carving
I would think port orford cedar is a great choice also
ayc works too
if you want heavy, then mahogany
good luck

I use a lot of basswood.

what is basswood I've never heard of it...
