Source for glass eyes
Where do get your glass eyes for special larger plugs. I found this site
schoepfer eyes for decoys, carving, restoration, high quality glass eyes looking for eyes for some 8" pikies. |
That's who I got mine from...for decoys, which I haven't carved in years! So now they go on some of my plugs.

Taxidermy supply houses. Seen clear, brown, red, yellow.
Realize that they will break if fished. Intended for display purposes. I saw a thread on making them out of plastic on a taxidermy message board the other day. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
Woody I have never had a glass eye break on my plugs or grs plugs.
Gary only uses glass eyes and I have two of his plugs with 3 seasons on them and they show no cracks. I'm sure some of them will break but I've had good luck w mine. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

thanks guys... I will try the place JD suggested... prices look great and they should be perfect for some Pikies I will be making,,,
|
I'm thinking of ordering some myself.
|
a little note- expect them not all to be the same exact size. they will vary up to a 1/64 th or so. If you are trying to put them in a tight tolerance hole some will fit some won't.

this looks to be a good excuse for a few new metric forstner bits... Need to make a new rack for my bit family... all of my existing forstners are english excepot for the Euro Hinge 20mm bit
|
If you buy them from jerry you'll need 2-3 sizes of 64th's bits on either side of what you order...their eyes are hand made and can be all over the place in size.Unless you don't mind allot of slop around your eyes because you only have bits that run in 1/16th's.
