Great first batch... nice painting skills!

Thnaks everyone. I have a tone of blanks that need to be sealed, etc. and a few more painted ones that need to be etexed. I've been experimenting with different woods recently and have been slacking on finising my plugs:). Planned on drilling weight holes tonight but ended up running into my uncle who brought me some birch he cut down on his farm in maine, so I had to turn some needles:biglaugh: It was my first time turning birch - tough to turn but I like it so far. Lets hope they swim the way I think they will!

I wish my firsts looked that good. Nice job and welcome. I think I may have seen that slim blue one before and it is a beauty. Actually I believe we live in the same town if your the person I think you are.
