Yeah NIB, That's a lot of wood to chop...
It's nice to know it's all just sitting there waiting for me.

I'm looking forward to experimenting with different ways to weight them and seeing how the various woods glide. Will the action of the cedar be brighter than the maple? Or will it be deadened by possibly having to put more weight in the belly? What happens if the weight is closer to the centerline of the bait as opposed to along the belly? All these questions to be answered...

Then there's all that painting.
I have a few things up my sleeve to try out on those slabs of wood...
