My last batch this spring

I made a few more Torpedos (Musso Senior Swimmers) One as a deepdiver and 2 as surface swimmers.

Then I made an sand eel swimmer following the measurements provided by Rockfish.

I have one last plug concept that I will make after visiting Craft Boston yesterday afternoon. I was speaking with Roger Bennett, an Irish Woodturner who turns beautiful thin bowls out of sycamore and he drills small holes in unique patterns on his bowls that he fills with thin silver or gold wire and then sands it flush. The result are amazing... I plan to make lateral lines on a natural finish plug or anilene dyed plug with ~ 25-30 pieces of silver jewelers wire. the lateral line will sparkle in the light. I have a friend who is a jewelery maker so the wire will be easy to come by... What do you guys think of this idea?
