Cheers,

fish the lures look stunning, i cant see if you' have done it but i would personally paint the edge of the gills red.
an ill fish will often rapidly move and flare its gill plates in the vain attempt to get more oxygen to the gills.
have you decided on what your gonna do about the eyes?
Iv cleared alot of bushes and trees from my garden recently and i was looking at the wood (the circumfrence was easily wide enough)
every type of wood is obviously gonna have a different boyouncy the beauty of carving your own is the price, most lures are rediculosly over the priced
