Slab Fish

When we were sawing a mesquite log at the saw mill this was the second piece off and I could not throw it away because it looked so much like a fish. So that is what I made out of it. I put an eye in it and a keyhole slot in the back and coated it with clear epoxy. It will be a good decoration for  some fisherman! it is 1" x 7" x 41"

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Great example of the wood deciding what it wants to be. That’s great!
Would make a dandy place to hang lures!
Nice "catch" Jim!
My mother always said; Waste not - Want not. Guess she was right.
Thank you all for the nice comments. I've had this slab for a few years and I'm trying to clean up  potential projects to make room for new ones.
Hi Bruce, it could be fitted with hooks or drilled with a long line of tiny holes for lures..Great idea...but I'm not selling any lures with it!!......................cheers, Jim
