Tiger Maple Needles

I saw this curly maple board at my favorite speciality lumberyard in Lunenburg in May while picking up my AYC (which is becoming a scarce material).

These are 7.5 inches and my weighting is pushed in from the tail ~2 inches to get that sweet sit in the saline.

I made 5 of these and have plenty more blanks for modification.
2 with flat sided noses and the others with round. The bellies are painted pure white.

Love the way the wood glimmers in light.

Beautiful plugs!

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
