Posts: 4266 | Hi guys. Been a long time. I have many of God's Gifts that I couldn't get pictures of all of them. Mostly the striped maple, but I did some Zebrawood gliders, one Osage Orange Bumblebee and a bunch of California Redwood gliders in different stages of getting done. The grain on that stuff isn't straight, so I let the grain determine the shape of the lure and don't overdo trying to shape them. I also gave marbleizing a try for the first time and have more plans in store for it. Just wanted to say hi and post a couple picks. I'll have more in the weeks to come if the humidity drops. Lots of odd shapes and patterns.

Posts: 4266 | Tigger, always good to hear from you.  Jerome, I painted up 5-10" Whitefish/Cisco....whatever you call them......with a thin Chartreuse belly. Someone asked for one, and it looked so good that I did 5. I'm heading out to the garage to do 5 of those Copper Suckers. Something about that copper that fish like. Anyway, after that I'll have like 3 blanks left from these 10"ers that Lee made for me a few years ago. I don't know what's up with him? I was hearing from him on a regular basis and then I heard that he had a relapse. I hope he's alright but I get no response to my calls or e-mails. I'll have to get some hard maple and try to do them myself. My daughter is gone today so I'll paint for about 2 hours. That's my limit. When she's home, I spend all my time with her. I like to paint lures, but I love my kid. Pictures of the Whitefishco later. God Bless, Beav | ||

Posts: 4266 | Here's what is hanging out in my basement. A bunch of suckers and some Whitefishmacallit. Only a couple of Whitefishmacallits left for Vermillion, and 4 of the Copper Suckers. Taylor and I are going up Wednesday, but have to leave on Thursday so she can get ready for school. Is it that time already?
