Any of you guys make bucktails with an upper wood body instead of beads?

we have built wooden bodies for a few bucktail makers in the past..
the folks give us a shape drawing and colors needed.
not very common though.

I made a small mold to pour resin for bucktail bodies to try to eliminate the need for lead weights, it seems to work ok, didn't give me as much weight as I had hoped and it's too big to put two on a single bait. It's nice that I can paint it and have a different bait but i failed in the attempt to eliminate weights.

I'll have to see if I can find it, it's buried in my basement somewhere.
