Time to post a picture

[Peter Luch]

Well its been long enough that I have gone without posting a piece of my work so here is one.
Done on an older Delta/Rockwell 12" lathe.

Spalted Jacaranda from a tree in my yard trimmed a huge branch about 1-1/2 year ago.
5" tall x 6" wide finished with spar urathane.

and the other is about 250 pounds :eek:

I'm not sure which picture I like more. Looking good.

How about this one?

Thats me holding an Ono and the guy with the rod was pulling on the fish in the previous picture.

looking good, i've always wanted to do some sea fishing, biggest thing I ever caught was only 14". one pf these days ill get out there and do it.

Looks great but didnt that fish make a huge mess when you turned it??

[Peter Luch]

I used my very special fillet gouge.

You keep the shavings and toss whats left on the lathe.

Just so everyone knows the big fishes always get sent back home.
Unless we are in a tournament we do not even tag them. Take the hook out revive them and let them go.
In 6 years I have only kept one marlin because it died before we got it in.

Aloha, Pete

Nice fish, Pete. I caught my first (and only) Sail in Cabo last year. We had a Marlin on but lost it. That Ono looks a lot like a Kingfish or maybe a Whaoo?

[Peter Luch]

It is a Wahoo only we call them Ono.
Ono in Hawaiian means "good" or "delicious". They are right on that account!
