Jeez Gibo you seem to be on to a cottage industry winner here mate. Teach your girls how to whittle if you need to step up the production.

@Gibo black poplar would be good for this also and you would get it for firewood prices ... nothing

Break out pieces with a chainsaw and it will be carving dry in only a few weeks

Some woods are nicer to carve green anyway like silver birch.
Which also might be ok for lures

you COULD do the next part of decorating with a couple of diferent coloured vivid felt tip pens....... man that is a very tidy looking lure,almost makes a fella feel like trying to make a trout sized one.

Getting final coats of epoxy. Stickers are shit. Need an airbrush

Before epoxy? What for?

If yr going to clear overcoat of epoxy yr fine.

if you buy wee bag of flouro powder off trademe...you can mix it with that cheap looking nail polish and go hard out on all sorts of things......WARNING if you do your big toe nails it will glow all night so look really weird when you get up in wee small hours to empty bladder.......

$2 shop has it in all sorts of funky colours too.

Fish have no concept of value Gibo. They do not use any form of currency in their day to day life.
