Just curious, I know that this will be VERY subjective depending on who you ask, but what length are you guys cutting your blanks before turning or carving them? I'm sure there's probably some "standard" sizes. 8" for a 7" lure? I'm thinking that I really need to get my wood pile in order, and want to do a better job with organizing. So what might those sizes be? And yes, I know it depends on the size of the lure you want to make, but I'm sure there are some standards.
