I like those leftovers. I wish I had some leftovers. I seem to cast mine into the water and lose them one way or another. I think I need to change the way I cast or be more careful.
I like the off center fishy look of those

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Is the skinny end the end that you do off center as a second step?

xactly

when you have the shape of the body done & sanded, then you position the blank so its upright level , reposition the rear stock about an 1/8 inch .Then as it spin you remove stock from just one side giving you the inverted lookat that end. play around a little to figure it out , doesnt need a lot of movement.
