    Very nice. Had a buddy I worked,fished and hunted with who got into making handmade lures and he got good enough he was selling some of them for 4-6 hundred bucks a pop. Some of the lures looked alive and like they had just came out of the water.
    He made baits that looked like baby crappie, bluegill you name it they all looked real. He hand carved everything.
    He also made custom oak mirrors and other items from wood.

    It's truly challenging to craft these pieces. Smaller ones demand meticulous attention to detail, while larger ones require significantly more carving time. Overall, the larger pieces are more difficult to make. That's why I price the small ones at $35 and the large ones at roughly three times that amount. I don't think I'd sell them for over $100, as that would place a heavy burden on buyers. Honestly, I make these primarily for enjoyment. Of course, if they bring in some extra income, that's a wonderful bonus.
