Good morning.
That's about where I am. My plugs are turned and marked, and some have started down the machineing belt. I did manage to clear some that have been in the works for a long while. Lurkers...and one offs.
After all the tutorials on darters I may gut it up and give them a try again.

Here's one in particular that I've been working on. Cape Cod wood from a Cape Cod tree, made into a Cape Cod plug. I cut the branch last Summer and dried it on top of my furnace. Flaptail had mentioned that such a plug would be cool..

As The Swimmer Turns!
Frank came over yesterday for a day of plug turning! One of Frank's favorite plugs is the Guppy Canal Pencils made by the Hess Family, great plugs for sure and a favorite of many! Frank took a 32 pounder one day last season from the ditch......one of my season highlights was watching Frank play that fish! This season Frank will be fishing his Guppy knockoffs I am sure! Here are a few pics of Frank at the lathe!

I had a lot of help over the years with that plug. There's a lot of PM and numbskull in it.
Lu you're making me want to build a duplicator. My plugs all look like they don't know each other.
