a couple squid
these are going out to jeffreys ledge tomorrow for a test swim.
the two on the left are part of a baseball bat.
the one on the right is the mistery wood?
3/32" thru wire.. 1,030# sampo swivel with a few weights stuffed in the nose.
we'll see how they swim?

come to find out it's mahogany. just cut the wrong way from the board stock.
looks pissa with clearcoat. i made another one gave it to mac that was a little bigger. the grain is beautiful seems to go all the way round the plug.
if you make them too small there weak and you can snap them like a twig.
i made some neeldels from it too cut the other way and there pretty kool but not as pretty.
this one was like a foot long

You want to be careful. They could all snap on ya eventually if they're cut the wrong way...
Good job though!! |
