I wrapped up all the stuff I was refinishing and very glad to have that all done and out of the way.
This week I've been messing around with small batches of a few different plugs. I made some broken back slope headed stuff to try in the canal and I made some needles in 3 different styles where i am pouring the lead directly into the plug and then topping that off with epoxy to fill the voids and sanding on the lathe. That worked great for the soft maple but the pine ones the wood was too soft I ended up sanding down the plugs more than I wanted. live and learn.
Next up for me is maybe trying bottle plugs.
