Handcarve video
 

This might be old hat to you guys, but I couldn't stop watching the video. In the comments section he said it takes 20 days to make a lure. :jump1:

GINEI Handmade Lure ??????????? - YouTube

Some of these guys are more artist than anything else. Some impresive to see from start to finish.

very meticulous. Beautiful work.

just think. All that work and a big toothy critter gonna maw that thing :hee:

he is very well skilled with his knife
yet he continually makes the cut towards
himself and that seems dangerous to me

When he was carving the rattle slot, all I could picture was him pushing too hard and going right through his hand. That is how I would do it anyway!

those were my thoughts exactly but he had pre-cut the stop point

I'd lose a finger, my wife would be pissed for bleeding all over the house.:biglaugh:

That must be the most calm, relaxed man on the planet

Wow, amazing detail in each of those plugs. He must have a waiting list in Japan for every plug.

carvers always draw towards themselves, at least that's how I've been taught. I wear leather thumb guards when I carve.

Lures that catch fisherman.
