ballerinas, goo goos, handcarves, baby banana & swimmers

Wrapping up my building season with some new builds...

I got a "ballerina master" @ Plugfest from Nightfighter so I had to make a couple with 2 different weighting schemes... one with .25oz belly 2/3 back and one with .25 tail wt and 00 shot just in front of belly hook.

I got a sweet handcarve body from the Greek @ PF so I finished that and made a clone out of basswood. Took me about 2 hrs to shape it.. a labor of love... bandsaw, sureform, small handplane, and sandpaper.

At PF I picked up some Cooper Goo Goo Lips, Bodies, and eyes so I made both the Popper orange belly/yellow top, and a bone Big Daddy

At RISSA I bought a baby banana kit from saltys and will rig it with just one belly (2/0) and a bucktail stub in the back,

At Plugfest I traded for one of Lower's 8" swimmers (looks very Musso like) so I made another and then a small 5" swimmer with one belly


So I think this just about wraps up my building save a few canal pencils and a few polaris poppers ..
