Making my "First" Balsa Fishing Lure

Believe it or not this is the first time I've ever made a lure out of balsa. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice and buttery the carving was.
The whole process was much easier than I anticipated and I definitely see why so many people use it. The buoyancy of this stuff is amazing and makes it pretty easy to give a lure a lot of action.
I'm definitely going to be making more balsa crankbaits from now on. Just need this dang weather to get better for me to tolerate being outside lol.
