I really don't believe that . I've seen some of the most impressive handcarvings (birds, fish) from people who enter vintage plugs. They go through great pains taking effort to get it right, but the general voter won't realize the effort or likeness to original and the handcarve will win hands down everytime. So if we keep things "as is" eventually it will be just a handcarve contest. We as plugbuilders will loose all that history from builders who enter past relics and all the knowledge that goes along with it . I'd like to see a Vintage table and with the plug a piece of paper that explains what ever history is available . Orig builder,, Years built,, production stopped,, available colors maybe.. old fish story of plug .. I think that would be good for us,, promote conversation,, maybe re think some things we are building now relating to the past . Be educational .. We have some among us who have a vast knowledge of plugs past .. Do we want to loose that ? This is NO way knocking handcarves .. Love them .. Been doing handcarve ,, like being born again ,, can't get enough.. Past entries very memorable by extremly talented , pateint people . Don't want to loose that either. Categorys I see Handcarve,,Vintage,,Modern ... Modern is a table you might see a darter with spinner blades hanging off it everywhere .
