I decided to finish this one yesterday. I wasn't going to, but I have 3 other things in the works and don't want to get too backed up. It is made of red oak and finished with tung oil.

Thanks everyone! I have a small vise and a board made of pine that I use to hold these small things. I round the edges with my knife, then file and sand...and sand and file, until it suits me (never enough...lol)
I love cod! LOL
