Have been cleaning up and organizing under the house a bit while the river flirts w/ the flood stages and came across a mold my wife had made some years back. For a diy mold, it pours great and I’ve caught many many fish on the heads it produces.
Wonderful, talented woman. Thought I’d share

That really looks good...homemade too...I like that
Good looking head. She is very talented.
Yup, awesome work!
Very nice work. Thanks for sharing.
Well that's just really cool! Would you mind sharing how she made the cavity for the head? It looks like it was made by hand, instead of a milling machine, so curiosity has gotten the best of me.
That is a good looking head! Your wife did a awesome job on the mold.
Outstanding!
Very nice!

There’s lots of obstacles, but Redman who used to post here and posted on another craft forum we visit was the man who laid it all out for a lot of us. Another younger fella took it by the reigns and documented his process.
Believe he posts here also.
Best I can do w/o breaking rules. Send me a message with any more questions.

My brother in law made me a new blank out of rebar.
Look forward to trying to press it
