Posts: 4266 | It looks like a Hybrid Muskie! I'll try to get the pics correct. Look at the wood with your eyes Follow the grain and find your suprise! I sat there looking at the grain and letting a pencil follow in the grooves and all of a sudden, up jumped the outline of some lures. Just think, I am going to destroy this piece of wood that came from a giant CA Redwood just so we can catch fish with the pieces. The board is a little over 2" wide but has a couple of knots, but I should be able to get 12 - 1" thick gliders out of it. I don't think that I'll get them done for this season, I just got done weighting the lures from the last piece, but that one wasn't nearly as highly figured. God is a better artist than anyone. This is one of his best gifts yet.

Posts: 4266 | "Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover" The purdy wood turned out to be a bust  When I went about cutting it down to usable size, I found out that the figuring went away, and the wood was wetter than a beaver after a swim. Quite a let down. After I dry it out, it will get painted just like any other piece of wood. In fact, after I cut around some knots, that board might just turn out to be Perkettes. | ||
