first batch for 2004
 

I havent made a plug since last year so i figured needles would be good excercise to start off with... after these its darters, and once i do a bunch of darters its Pikie time :humpty:

these needles are made from rock maple and since my airbrush wasnt cleaned properly last time i used it:smash: I used rattle cans. Enviro-tex clearcoat on top. Test swam one and had a heart attack I was so happy with it.

Eben, Those look great and , as you probably know, that is a pissa color:D , little gold glitter in there?:) johnny

I dont know whay that photo came out so bad.. some of the needles have a sprinke of silver glittah.

rustoleum 'moss green' :humpty:

Sweet :happy:

note the superior tailwraps :hihi:

I learned that technique from watching bassmaster :laughs:

Dude, those tail wraps looks like crippled children :hs:

And this is coming from a novice mind you :laughs:

Coloring
 

Love that creamy olive over creamy pearl... bet the bass love em to!


Nice work Eben!

Great Job!!!
did you add the glitter with the paint, or is it in the epoxy?

youngsalt, I sprayed the paint on and had the glitter ready to sprinkle before the paint dried. I have also had great results mixing fine glitter with epoxy and painted it on before the clearcoat. the glitter will 'float' above the paint.

eben you copycat

yes there is some BM influence in there, and some habs influence and some salty influence too... But i didnt clone your needle.

you cloned my neede now give them to me:D

:smash:

you should seee the BM dannies I made today :laughs:

These are only sticks of wood... i have no idea why you any of you would want one :rolleyes:
