RobShaw Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 It would seem that this wood has a lot of good qualities. Has anyone made any cranks with this wood?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjack Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Rob, I would think that teak would be hard to carve and if I'm correct teak contains a large quantity of oil in it. which makes for a not so durable finish no matter what type of clearcoat you use. Although it would be kinda cool just to make a plain unpainted lure and fish it without any paint job. could pass as a craw bait for sure!!

RobShaw Posted August 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Teak is used the saltwater marine industry because its nearly impervious to water damage/deterioration. I know of no finer crank bait artist than yourself to make such a bait. Perhaps you could add dark black eyes and maybe a colored circuit board material (red?) lip. Nobody else offers such a bait... You could name it..."prototype" ...that seems to be a very common name right now on the pro circuits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
