Thanks Glen!!! I like to color pattern on those and I'm thinking the same Thanks bushart!!! I forgot to mention in the report that I will be applying 2 coats of varnish to them Good idea about the reflective tape I have a couple of strips in my tackle box. That tape really stick good to any surface and it's so thin that 2 coats of varnish is all that's needed. Thanks splashhopper!!!

Thanks Dozer!!! Thanks Fishnwire!!! No problems, send me via pm your coordinates. Thanks Mike!!! Thanks Jim!!!

Great report and pics johnny Got to love being able to put down one rod so that you can keep up What was the size of the ones you kept for a fry?? Leechman

Sounds like you guys had fun out there.... Like the rod holders, very cool design Thanks for sharing Leechman

All week temps were around -6C to -8C with moderate wind..... perfect for ice fishing, but comes weekend and temps dip -18C with 25Km North / West wind, windchill -25C no way I'm going out fishing so I decided to tackle another wooden project in the comfort of my home in 20C temp Had some left overs from 2009 that I did not want go to waste, so rattling crank baits was on the menu and as always wanted to create a unique color pattern that no one ever seen before..... so off I go on the band saw and get busy... After cutting the outline did not have enough width to make to pieces round so I glued some additional cutout pieces and here's the result Another shot Here's a closer look after sanding That right there got me an immediate reaction of what I wanted to do with the pattern..... applied a coat of white Then like I said above, got busy on the pattern.... first applied yellow on the big round eyes from the added pieces Used a permanent marker to draw around the eyes so that I can apply the black coat Applied the black Removed the tape off the ends And finally here's the end results.... Bumble bee crank bait Hope you enjoy Leechman
