As a side note to this, I did up some 9 inch jointed pikies this weekend. Cut before I hydro oriented. The two halfs oriented slightly different. Yep, there is that much difference within one section of wood.

Good point Karl, and the problem is once you shape the face your already commited to lip placement.  |

Karl, that would make sense. However, I have floated many plugs in sealer after they've been drilled/angled/shaped. They still float right. Don't know? On plugs, like pencils, that I center drill and tail weight, I go ahead and drill the thru-hole and tail weight hole prior to hydro.

the thru drilling for the wire could possibly change things in thin plugs like a needle if the hole strays offcourse, I know from experience.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

alter ? no ... you've already found the heavy side and put heavy side down ... any removal of stock(pikie head) on top just makes that side lighter wich, it already is any way ... still floats that side up . |
