some leftovers
 

been back in the man cave again, finishing up some leftovers from last year before I start-up on some new stuff. Some modifications in store after fishing some of my stuff, some will stay as is! Live & learn as they say! but for now clearing out the old to make room for some new stuff! MikeCC....gonna need some parts,I'll be in to see you:bl:

If those are the leftovers , what does the main course look like ?:bl: Very nice work .

wow great body shape
 

how does one go about shaping them? belt sander. off center turning, sounds way past my skill level, thanks ed.

yes fishfearme, they are turned off center! not really that hard. just gotta go at it slow and carefull. Believe me if I can do it anyone can, I've only been turning for about a year. the rest of ya Thanks for the codo's!!

I like those leftovers. I wish I had some leftovers. I seem to cast mine into the water and lose them one way or another. I think I need to change the way I cast or be more careful.
I like the off center fishy look of those :btu:

wish my leftovers were as good as that.
very nice. Love the bellys on them.

still needs clearcoat & hardware but so far............

Very nice turning. Oh and paint too. I will Pm you my address.

Is the skinny end the end that you do off center as a second step?

xactly
 

when you have the shape of the body done & sanded, then you position the blank so its upright level , reposition the rear stock about an 1/8 inch .Then as it spin you remove stock from just one side giving you the inverted lookat that end. play around a little to figure it out , doesnt need a lot of movement.

Thanks. Sounds like a fun thing to try out over Christmas Break.

very nice work!
