Hi Kozak. I'm a new memeber too, I just stumbled across this site a few minutes ago, in fact, and although I've made a few clunky lures in past years I'm just now getting into it as a serious hobby. Anyway, while doing research on lure making I came across a downloadable "e-book" on making wooden top water lures. It was only $19.95 and surprisingly well worth the money. It would be a bargain at 5 times the price. Here's the link: http://www.woodenluremaking.com/
Good luck!
