Sorry the picture got turned sideways, but started carving this shad glidebait a while back. Need to get that thing finished with some paint on it.

I'd like to see it when you get it done. That's pretty cool.

Worked up a new color last night. I was after something shrimpy looking. The past couple months natural/clear lures have performed better. This is pearl powders and hi lites with a drop of black and a drop of white. I'll give them a try soon.

Like!

I would love to try these out...

Working on my next projects.

This ones starting to take shape. I just put on a seal coat of epoxy so it's going to hang in the box and dry.

I had the time today to finish these two. They're made from maple burl. I filled the voids with clear epoxy and used wood dowels with the edges burned for the eyes. I put a little glitter in the top coat to make em a little sparkly.

Some good looking WOOD Sir!

Still fighting this dang flu, otherwise I’d be chasing tails my next days off.

Please, hope for the better! I've got this week off, too!

One more in better light.

Got this one done this week. It's another balsa slow sinker with a through wire harness. I used foil for the scale effects and did a little more carving on this one. It's almost big trout season so I've a couple more jerk baits to make.

[kevin nicholls]

One more.
