When not making crankbaits this is how I take a break. Carving replicas helps keep you in shape for the important stuff in luremaking.

7" bass

8" striper

6'" Sailfish

U have some skill their sir!

Very nice looking work.

Very Nice! Love the fine details you put into it.

Great work as always John! That sailfish is spectacular.

Those are awesome! Great work!

Beauties John!!

Outstanding work.

You have a wonderful talent.

Maybe you can parlay it into a part time avocation and sell some of your creations.

Thanks for sharing.

Those are great! You are very talented!

Thank you all gentelmen for you kind comments on my carvings.

Sam, at 72 I'm really not looking for another job, find myself already doing more carving than fishing. I do attend one pre Chistmas craft show and one tackle show in late January they keep me about as busy as I want to be.
