Good enough for anything but top-waters? I got a bunch of 1.5"x1.5" pieces from a cabinet maker and it seems way too light.......or does it make good crankbaits if you add some weight to it? Grain is pretty nice. Anybody use it? Seems like it would be ideal lathe pieces.
Thanks,
Beaver

I can't turn them, but I bet some flat-sided minnow lures would have some action. I don't do wire-thru either, but I 2-ton epoxy every screw eye. I'll have to make some dive-rise minnow lures out of this stuff. I have a 2-part sealer that's designed for wood just like this stuff. Thanks Woodie, always appreciate your input.

I use white cedar also and have had very good success.

Thanks,
