I have one project to get out of the way before I start. It’s so important that I have to put this box project second. I lost the fish of my life yesterday. Truly a trophy. Lost her in the rocks as I was trying to land her. This beautiful 30+ lb striped bass took my lure with her, which was one I made that was very productive, so yesterday I set out to make 14 more all alike to replace it. This will take a week or more to turn, mill and paint. It may also be all the inspiration I need for the box. I’m thinking my box will be fishy. Getting the creative juices flowing now. How can I make a fishy box?
