Small (3” x 1”) carving from a scrap piece of Maple, I also dyed it and used a nail for the eye that I polished the and used black paint. I gave this to my nephew. I made this about three years ago.

Hey, that’s really good! I thought they were real fish, especially that first one on the left by the coral. Nice work.

Very cool, of course I am going to swipe that idea and make my own now for a fun little project. I don’t know why I never thought of it, I have made 1000’s of these. Your fish is way cooler. I have some spalted curly stock that would make a really neat fish without the dye.

Daren, are those lures wearing condoms? :-)” ...ever get hook in your finger, they don’t want to come out. Yea they are covered for my protection when I assemble them.
I checked out some of Roger’s other stuff, his hand mirrors from WAY before I came around blew me away http://lumberjocks.com./projects/68## I am a funky wood guy, I have never seen birdseye like that.

Roger, where you been ole buddy, I missed you and your outstanding work, the pumpkin head I think is the last I remember. Sure glad you’re back, what you been up to? Been making many scarey sculptures I hope and making big $ doing it. Great looking fish. I like that better than tuna. Good to see ya man, God Bless. mike
