Darter hell is done!

Here they are, unweighetd maple I obtained from Ron at lordship lures on the forum. very generous act ron, he didnt even let me pay for shipping! Look how much wood he gave me ( This is with 5 peices missing!)





Heres teh 1st one, Maple. BIG! had 2 trebles, i took the front off for another to test, it swam OK. It was tough to get goin though,















Heres teh smaller stubby one, made 2 and both worked!

Mike, I did not. If you see the traditional maple darter (IE Lifishinvt) maple is used unweighted. iw ent through one thread on another site of A Holes and I read that winch on here and another member got theres to swim with unweighted maple. i will turn more tonight and try it with a hit of lead in the chin though! I will let you know..

NICE WORK DARTERS ARE HARD. WHEN MAKING THEM YOU WANT TOO BANG YOUR HEAD AND CURSE. GOOD JOB LIKE TOO SEE MORE.

Nick, thumbs up! Nice work...

L@@king good Nick........... :twisted:

Thanks Guys! Teddy, Your plug got its first coat of etex and the glitter. What bitch to get the glitter to go oval. i had to move it with muy fingers and an index card but I got it! teh glitetrs mostly exterior because of the way it goes ion the epoxy so it will get another coat or 2, to really bring out the color!
Nick

monty if your having trouble with the glitter you need to get finer glitter. mix in with epoxy.1coat always covers for me.

Nick, stop now send me all that wood and stand back from the lathe. Nice stuff you are doing there keep up the good work
