Salmon Plugs ( OG Edition )

[nootkaassassin]

The process started with a load of cypress burls and a few chunks of cypress.
I managed to hook up with a master wood turner and let him work his magic



Prototype plug for the first batch



John did a amazing job! Now it’s time to get them ready for paint,

It takes a special type of person to make this kind of functional art. Well done!

Game On Let’s play!!


Chrome scales and belly



4 color shifter paint on the back and shoulders. Very difficult for me to show the shift through pics. I have vid but can’t post.



Low light the shifter is black ,also dusted the sides and belly with holographic paint. Went with OG glass eyes





Mixed up some UV additive too the shifter paint and ended up with a nice blue as seen under the blue light

Who’s up next! This guy comes in around 5 1/2 inches long and has a pretty good rake. I think with the eyes set back a bit it’s gives off a Squid vibe



Face is close too 2 inches long from chin to forehead
Here’s a “CHUBBY” from the first batch for comparison



Not sure how this “TURD” will swim yet but it definitely floats pretty good in the toilet so that’s a good start



Turd goes head to head with the Shovel

What kind of action does the Turd get when you flush?
