Pre-Drilled Wood Lure Turning Squares

WARNING: Sanding these products can expose you to Wood Dust, which is known to the
State of California to cause cancer.  For more information go to 
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Saltys is a small business and exempt from California Proposition 65 warning requirements,
but choose to provide them voluntarily for known chemicals per California law.
 Wash hands after handling, DO NOT smoke or eat with contaminated hands!
Keep away from children and do not ingest! USE COMMON SENSE!

3/4" Squares  

3/4 (.75")x5 3/8"
Soft Maple turning squares

Perfect for Stubby Needlefish lures!

Pre-drilled through end to end with standard .1875 hole.
Straight grain #1 furniture grade wood. No knots.
We hand select all our wood from the mill directly!
These are the same squares we use for turning our finished lures.

Perfect for turning your own stubby needles!

The pre-drilled holes give you a great place to line up the wood
 in your head and tail stock too!

Can be easily re-drilled to add weight into the rear of the blank.

These blanks are drilled on a high speed CNC machine-each one is checked that a wire goes through every time. How many times have you ruined a home made lure project from a bad drill! Through-drilling is the #1 complaint we have heard from people over the years!

Be advised that inventory is subject to vary at different times of the year.

Turns, sands, and seals easily and will take paint very well.

This blank will make a stubby style needlefish lure,
a small pencil popper, small floating needlefish, pocket rocket, etc.

Pre-drilled through end to end with standard .1875 hole. Straight grain #1 furniture grade wood. No knots. We hand select all our wood from the mill directly! These are the same squares we use for turning our finished lures.

Perfect for turning your own full size needles!

in your head and tail stock too!

We very highly recommend that you pre-cut the length close to what you will want before it's turned, that way if there is any error on the inside drill you won't see it on a cut end. Drills sometimes will try to follow the grain on the wood.

Looks similar to this when turned. Each piece was culled out of our turning squares for it's bright irridescent flame pattern in the wood. These make great looking needles and swimmers finished naturally as seen here. Limited inventory.

1.5x6 ALASKAN YELLOW CEDAR TURNING SQUARE DRILLED
Actual length 5.75" on these squares. Makes great poppers, small needlefish!

1.5x10 ALASKAN YELLOW CEDAR TURNING SQUARE DRILLED

We also have more Alaskan Cedar turning squares on THIS PAGE

Alaskan Yellow Cedar Turning blanks will sand out to a very fine finish.
Since AYC is similar to POC or Red Cedar the same precautions apply in regards to turning safety and dust control.

Remember to use good dust collection or a respirator when sanding any kind of cedar.
They contain a very defined crystalline structure which is bad to inhale. All cedars are this way.
Also make sure you use a good quality hiding primer so you don't have problems with bleeding which are prevalent with all cedars.

Yellow cedar is one of the most enjoyable woods to not only turn but work with and even fish.
It's very buoyant with a specific gravity of around .55 but at the same time it's very dense and slow growing.
