Tiger Maple Needles and 2 Pencils
I recently fired up my spindle lathe and turned some maple needles (and 1 cherry), some pencils and Musso Dannies
2 of the pencils are sinkers and the other 4 are floaters
I wired the needles and pencils today and just epoxied in the metal lips on the Dannies
I am looking forward to Plugfest in Feb and will bring several Tiger maple needles to trade.
Time to get the Etex and my spinner going

Wow, they look great! Set a pencil aside for me. I'll be coming to plugfest with OD Mike and I'm gonna trade you one of his plugs for one of yours, since I don't have the time or room to make any plugs before then.

I plan on picking up some pine soon and turn away some other styles of plugs that worked well for us this year. I'm thinking we won't be painting until late January.....

No problem. Maybe I'll bring Jason by soon so he can ransack your garage while we have a beer. Are you taking requests for new styles to build or is your list already complete?
By the way, the cod was excellent. |

Very nice, Chris. I see it's got my name on it. 
What would you like me to have OD Mike make you to trade  for that one? |

FishBones- Get OD Mike to make me a Polaris Popper or his version of a surface popper... The yellow/red Canal Special is a close copy of Professor M's smaller canal Special.... is casts a mile

When I first started to make plugs I made everything in pine! So I will be making everything in pine again. Its cheap, easy to work with, takes on sealer well and did I mention CHEAP. Last time I bought blanks, it was $20 bucks for 100 blanks!  |
