Finished.....Flaptails and J-bugs

Hey fellas,
I hope everyone is getting ready for the big game....Here are the finished Flaptails and J-bugs. It's hard to capture my version of "Blurple" with the camera, but they are my favorite. Tails By Stevel...(Thanks Man)

I hope all is well, Happy turning!

MS

So much depth in the finish. I sometimes do 2 coats if the first coat comes out so/so. I don't do a thick finish on delicate effected top water swimmers and darters. Brush out the finish and it does come out remarkably smooth.
