Carving lures. Not sure about material.

Knives:  there’s a huge difference in “a knife” and a good wood carving knife.  Wood knives usually have small thin blades, with a handle large enough for good control, and need to be sharp enough to shave hair with.    A good knife makes rough shaping a lure easy and fast compared to sanding.

I used a knife that shaves almost just at the thought of it. I made sure to use the sharpest knife I own. I do think that my wood was poor at absolute best because it was never intended for anything even remotely close to carving as I used a piece of brandering from a house's roof where I helped build. Unfortunately I don't have the money to buy other wood.
