This block like many with one end not docked off,
are in fact test runs to see if the lure is the right size. With many of the old handmade machines the owners could adjust the cut so the lure could be cut wider or narrower than the Mandrill !! Most of the blanks cut on a good machine dock both ends when finished ! I hear John still carves a few shapes by hand, but his creative mind never stops thinking of better ways to do things !!! Inventor !!! |
