 Genie, a good buddy of mine Dad made fiddles, banjos and mandolins for Charlie Daniels. He would get the most endangered exotic wood from Africa to make them with. Not a easy task 
 
 Whenever Charlie's band would come to town my buddies band would be the opening act for him. They opened for Marshall Tucker Band, Lee Greenwood & David Allen Coe also. They are old farts now.
 
 Plenty of Lure companies have been sued for copying styles from other manufactures. We have pallets of new old stock lures like that. Many never even made it to the packaging some that made it say Patton Pending on the backs. While other lures we have, the company just had to quit selling. Some would just make a slight change in appearance and bring it back. Hard not to copy a plug in appearance somewhat if you ask me.   

 
that's pretty cool, C'fish
 
I tried to get to get some  rosewood when I was making gun grips..
didn't work out..
 
as far a Gibson, my brother has a 1976 Les Paul Black Beauty
If not mistaken, he paid $500 for it in 1976 !!
 
Me, I'm the guy that hung around the musicians 
the drummer

 That rosewood must be nice to carve with. Have a 8 pcs. Louis VIII rosewood living room set from Italy that is heavily carved. Some of my pre civil war throne chairs and benches are crazy with Cherubs and so forth. Have a sofa and chair with this griffon on them. Have some crazy throne chairs with Oldman of the North and lions on them that belonged to H.J Hinze. The workmanship on things is long gone in most cases.

These liberal tears are making my coffee so sweet. The next 4 years are going to be epic. I feel sorry for you poor TDS inflicted morons. Either way DONALD TRUMP is your commander in Chief for the next four years and all you can do about that is cry like a little child. I can't wait till he pardons the Jan. 6 folks, the whining and crying will be over the top. Sweet.

This is just weird for you Bings. If I didn't know any better I'd say you got hacked or something. 

Nope it's me. Have had this crap rammed down my throat for the last 8 years. Orange man bad. Have had enough of these whining****liberals and will ride their****like a rented mule as long as Trump is president. And guess who THEIR POTUS is for the next 4 years... Donald J. Trump.

I think you're confusing liberals with progressives. It's the more liberal types that thought Harris was too progressive for their taste and either didn't vote or stayed home. My thoughts are that many liberals felt more in line with Trump when it came to free market economy, free speech and deregulation. 

What's the difference the sane people voted to end the crap they were selling!  Now let the pardons fly many many coming on Jan 29th.

So you mean the last 4 years, not 8 then? Trump was President for 4 years between 2016-2020.

I dunno what MAGA rock this bingbat guy crawled out from under, but I think he should be in Trumps cabinet. He lives in the same alternate reality as Hegseth and Patel and the rest of them, plus I’m sure bingbat has absolutely no qualifications. He’s a perfect Trump appointee.
