Squeedlefish....

THese guys started out as needles, But when I painted them they kept saying squid to me. About 7" long, hard maple. The bottom one has three slugs over lead in the belly. Top one only on centered in the belly. Been trying to decide whether to put the trailer hook on the top one at the other end a tie some tenticles.

Look like squids to me, damn nice to. I'd reverse the trailers and tie tentacles.

Squeedles with tentacles
