Awesome stuff, Fred. Amazing finish on those Atom/Surfsters. And the squid, are they topwater or subsurface plugs? Please post some closeups when they're done.

Fred nice to see a cellar that looks like a cellar not some super clean modern dust free shop. Looks just like mine. Nice work too.

Did somebody say rockets? I have a few ready for tails - cannot make up my mind on feathers and colors. Black feathers and some white bucktail for good measure. Rockets for the swap!

The colors on the rockets appear blue, but are actually black with Violet Pearl X pigment rubbed over it. Grey to blue bellies with a touch of red flash.

Brother ,sounds like Spence talkin'.

Hi gone fishing do you happen to have a closeup of that yellow, white, and red number on the right in the right picture above? Looks pretty sweet.

Paul - you are a craftsman. I was impressed when I saw one of them at M&D, but seeing them finished I now can only say WOW. Beautiful work. You have to give me a lesson on offset turning.

Here are my first plugs ever - turned them Saturday - big thanks to Baystalker for the lessons - especially the safety warnings!!!!!

This Danny shrunk & shrunk - here is whats left



This one the tail is flared - I was scared of catching an edge which I did




This one was a mistake After rounding I gouged too much - had to reverse the stock and try to save it. We'll see


Ride the spiral to the end...............
