Just keep in mind that the formula is not going to be exact due to the fact that your removing material which has a different density than the material your putting back. And when I say "exact" I'm only talking about a few tenths of a gram at most. This only becomes a problem when your trying to build a suspending lure. On a lure I built recently the difference between it being a slow sinker and a slow floater was unbelievably small. The amount of weight I took off the bait to make it float wouldn't even register on my digital scale with the scale set to weigh in thousandths of an ounce. Give the dunk test a try on a few lures and I think you will like it. I use it to build all my baits even when I'm building multiple lures with the same design. No two carved baits are going to be exactly the same no matter how hard you try. The dunk test will allow you to compensate for slight differences in the size, shape and even small differences in the wood itself. Just holler if there's anything I can help with. Ben
