wood bomber

6inches, approx 1.5oz, AYC, stainless throughwires and hook hangers. Lip material was cut from a plastic tacklebox divider.
Hard to tell from the pics but the sides are pearl white with very fine glitter (sparse). The top is black, belly yellow/orange and the head is black with some yellow/green pearl. Inspired by a bomber but changed slightly.

Im not really sure how long it took. Cut the basic shape on the bandsaw and sanded on the beltsander. Had to make sure there were reference lines so it wouldnt get lopsided. Yes, I made the hangers from stainless wire. The holes were filled with devcon 30 min epoxt and allowed the plug to soak it down into the through wire hole. Topped off the holes with wood filler. The plug is totally sealed. Heres a pic of the hanger arrangement:

Note to self: Self get to work, you're fallin' way behind. Bravo FlukinUki!

Thanks again guys. Youngsalt, No masking of anything. Sprayed the whole plug pearl white, shot some pearl silver down the back then black over that onto the head. I let some get behind the Gill plate I carved to look like a shadow. Then some pearlex Yellow/green misted on the head. Mixed yellow and red for the belly.

Took the completed plug for a swim yesterday and it swam very well. Nice tight wiggle.

I like that plug alot great job!

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.
