Brad used sugar pine, too. At the end, he was having the blanks cut, the thru wire hole pre-cut along both halves of the blanks, then glued together by his supplier, since his eyes were getting really bad and he had to scrap maybe one out of three plugs he turned because his drill press wasn't long enough to drill from one end to the other. He'd drill halfway, then start from the other end, then try to get the drillings to meet using a hand drill with a flexible bit.

He drew the mackerel vermiculations on with a Sharpie. He once made me a pink mackerel special where the vermiculations read "NY SUCKS" if you held the plug a certain way.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
