VampressRN- I am going to make several of these. All will be out of wood but with different style hooks. I may make a couple with bone or BC jade hook points lashed on. Frosted glass would be neat, but I have a lot to learn about glass.

Finkdaddy, I cut the first hook out, then traced it to cut the others, but they are not all the same, each has it's own personality (and mistakes).

Gman- Boars teeth would be great, are you going to part with some? I'll send you a glass.

Surf Tiki- It's own recipe, Hmmm. I'll think I'll have to spend next weekend experimenting in the kitchen- sounds like fun.

Thanks Travelingjones and Benella I appreciate the feedback and encouragement.

Here is a quick update, still a bit more sanding and a little more fine tuning, then comes the stain and lashing together.

I have to figure out how to mass produce these, or at least make small batches easier to make.

Thanks for looking
