better late than never. I didn't have much time for many but I did paint up a few of my small flatish maple ones as I still have a few from my last run of them a few years ago. 1 jointed I ended up finishing. The Stezko type ones I did turn this year from a nice soft maple pallet I found at work. Thanks to Grapenuts for the shape. He gave me several small turned blanks. I up sized them and made a few fatter and one thinner. I really like the shape and will give them a go this summer. The small ones are light, bottom belly weighted , but from the tin boat should be fine and sand eelish was my paint scheme. The larger ones are drilled 1/4" dia. to the belly hook and then weight was distributed with 1/4" dia. plastic tubing taking up any space I didn't want weight to make up the total length. A Slip and Assmaster technique. A belly shot of lead in front of the hook too.
