First Mack Pattern - been awhile

Hey fellas,

First, I hope everyone getting smashed by the snow is safe and sound!

Been too busy to finish anything up as of late,I really miss my shop time!! There has been some great stuff being posted on this site....cool.

well here is my first Mack pattern that was requested by a friend out East. It was definitely a challenge, I drew out the pattern and cut it out and had to redo it a couple times. Definitely not perfect but I will hopefully improve on the next one ( i have some ideas). Also go easy on the tail, it is only the second one I've ever tied and tried to get it to mach the J-plug as much as possible.

As always it is almost 6 inches and approx. 3 oz.

I'll have more to post later, I hope all is well and everyone's new year is off to a great start. Happy Building.

MS

Nice stripes, do you do free hand? ? What do you use to dish your eye sockets?

Thanks pbadad
I made a stencil and cut it out. I use a Fostner bit followed by a ball rasp and sand paper to finish the yet off.
Best
