Well, not wasting any time on my new years resolution(s), I tried my hand at making some wooden lures. I initially tried carving some out of pine with some sandpaper and a handheld scroll saw. Not pretty at all. Then, the fishing gods flipped open my Harbor Freight add in the paper to a mini-woodworking lathe for under $40. Then my wife wanted to go to the craft store. I found some very cool glitter in very bright colors, some "sea-pearl" acrylic paints, and 12" wooden dowels. I am banned from going to the craft store with her again. Oh well.
Here are my first attempts/experiments with some paint and a lathe. I still need to get some hardware for my toys and decide about diving lips and whatnot. Any suggestions TD????
Happy New Year to all!
