Every individual handcarved plug is of it's own design. There is no sameness. Carve away and enjoy it.

Nice stuff,,,,

SD,,, I am not near the plug builder as the above guy's who have answered...

But,,,, I am going to be straight up with you,,,,

Your not whacked,, but you call it what you want.... I just think your meticulous. Not to mention do one hell of a job on your plugs.

I have never seen a plug you made in person but the close up shots you take are enough for me to know I could fish your plugs with the confidence that they will catch.

As far as those "nice curves" well,,, the curves on your plugs look pretty darn nice to me,,,,

I hope that answers your question.
