Benz - Thanks Man! Yep, he's a bad dude. I took Tama's advice and locked him up.

Conga - Yeah, the knife is a Gman/Benz consult-twist...that is, I have never seen a Teko with one and there needs to be one!

Capo - Thanks!

Finky - The cool wood comes from hard work. I got this wood working nights doing tree work. This is the end of it though, so I guess I need to start climbing trees again.......

Marcus - Happy New Year to you too!

Tama - Yep, don't *%$# with him! You said he needed to be bad...

Benz - Yeah, I'm here. I tried to work on the Teko yesterday, but not much got done. I need some other toolz to get to a few areas that are bothering me. I'm gonna wait to go any further with him until the UPS man brings me more toolz.

So, not wanting to end the year sitting around, I made this trolling lure today. The wood is from a chunk of wood that AA sent over to me. It was sent to him from the islands by a Tongan carver. I'm not sure what it is....AA? A little help here? I sanded it down to 1,000 grit and I'll likely oil it. I was going to use bone to "pin" the hook in place, but got cold feet. Maybe I'll need to learn to wrap these.....however, I don't want to cover up the bone. What to do....what to do......

Happy New Year everyone!!!
