Like the bottom one, but very little to quibble over there.

I like both shapes... the more "fishform" one on the bottom looks pretty "alewife-y".

How's the swim difference on those cedar vs Cypress?

Nice job Ed. I like the cedar one, seems like a smooth transition, but my eyes keep going up to the cypress. I'll need one of each and then let you know. (I got that line from a 2002 post of Charleston's)
Told ya, I learn quick

Ed; I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I did not understand a word of your post? What does "gts" mean? I'll need one of each to check them out

when I turn them the whites drier and lighter and the cypress smells less and is heaver, so I would guess the white's more lively floats faster because its lighter...I don't have a duplicater so every bodys alittle off, so I've never really tested them equally..every peise of wood different too...thanks everyone
