Morning all. Nice stuff Sgt. That darter proto looks interesting. going to work on big water hardwood needles and I might do a few mini gibbs slopehead swimmers. I got one from a friend who collects minis. The lip is 3/4 wide. I have to see if CC/NJ has one . My smallest is 13/16 danny style. I could refabricate if neccessary. Heres a story: rummaging thru my scrap chair rungs I come across these chaur back rungs that have the spitting image as is of a Conrad. You see I have Conrads on the brain lately since this is my niche turning. I needed a change of scenery. The wood type is either maple or birch. I can't seem to distinquish. It's hard but so is the soft maple I use and the rock maple for baseball bats. It sands SMOOTH like them all. I know Pichney used hardwoods and pines for these denisons of the deep. I cut up the rungs for future turnings. Down to the dungeon I go. Talk to all later. Hope to meet you all @ PLUGFEST. I will have maple and ash bat pieces for any who want some. They need to be cut for plug use.
