Flap - just a suggestion -- you put the belly holes etc. in the turning with the grain running wrong. Belly holes and other drillings should be with the grain showing on the sides of the plug. Or in other words into the flat of the grain. It makes for a stronger plug with less chance of splitting. 
That will make one excellent skin plug - Now for finishing.

Now if you'd learn to use tools instead of your teeth you'd be all set.

Progessing very nicely Steve.   Now if ya only knew some plug history too. 
GFT, i always thought the tight grain should be on the bottom of the plug as it is more dense and will hold and swim better,  What are your thoughts.?

No ban yet... but possesion of eels, rigged eels or skins will be likely be illegal. Its just like when you have a tank of herring at the herring run. Maybe you had them from last time but if you take your limit they will assume that you got them all in one sitting. If they allow is to have skins what's to stop us from potting our own eels, skinning them and saying "hey I've had these for years".... its gonna suck! |

JFT - If the grain is tighter on one side than the other, You are correct. For some reason I always check that before orienting the plug for hooks and lips. |

Dave I was thinking black over yellow or black over olive. Skin would be dark side out.
Numbskull, tools take all the challenge out of turning wood! I had one plug blow up on me this morning and had a bit go when I had the chuck in and the plug went flying and caught my left hand pinkie. Ouchhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! It left a mark. Are you on duty Monday George? Need some pointers. You can come here or I can go there. Got to get kid #1 back to BU tomorrow. Call me. |
