Man! This 5" draw knife will do the trick! I shucked this white oak stave during halftime of the UCLA vs. Florida game.
It's a lot easier than doing it this way
This is the other 1/2 of the well-cured stave I bought from Mike Yancey when I went over to the Tackle Box at Fort Smith and bought some deer huntin stuff (seed for a plot and a Filson wool vest 1/2 price)
and some turkey huntin stuff (new diaphragms and a camo cap)
and some killer Smallmouth baits for this summer.
That's Carson, my middle-sized grandson on Lake Dardanelle with a "smallmouth" bream, but he managed to catch this Largemouth
before those Women Bassmasters could during the tournament here this weekend. This is the 2nd 1/2 of this stave, the first 1/2 having succumbed to my stupidity. It was looking pretty good til I tried to string it too short at first.
However, I shall press forth, undaunted, awash in hopefulness and (unmerited?) confidence. I know you're thinking I'll never succeed with this propeller stave, but the first one
also had some twist, so I think I may be able to work with it as it nears completion. Wish me luck! (Camera batteries came out & it reset it's date.)
