New Lure Blank Making Tutorial

Here is a brief tutorial on how to make a lure blank.

1. Trace out lure blank pattern from an existing lure, pictures or make your own design

  

2. Trace the side profile from the lure pattern onto a piece of wood, making sure the wood grain runs lengthwise

3. Cut out the side profile of the bait, remember to keep the cutouts, you will need them later

4. Using a compass, mark the centerline of the lure lengthwise and trace the top profile of the lure onto the blank

5. Here is where you will need the cutouts. Tape the cutout back onto the blank. This makes it easier to cut out the top profile because the piece will sit flatter on the table of the saw.

6. Cut out the top profile of the lure blank, you should end up with a piece that is the rough shape of the lure you desire.
