Looks pretty good so far!  I use a similar technique for removing twist.  For future reference, if you cut a scrap piece of wood to length and prop it under the tip that your twisting, it will keep the limb from deflexing from the weight of your bucket when you heat it up.  I have several old broomsticks cut to various lengths for just that purpose.  Josh

That's a good idea, it's reflex though.

Josh, I use the shaft of an old golf club for that same purpose.  It just happens to be the perfect height and the rubber grip won't slip on the wood.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

I love it. Proof you can do anything if you want it bad enough. Good job Jordan.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Nice hook! I have a shop....unfortunately, my wifes family thinks its there own personal free rent storage facility. >:(  It seems like everytime I come home, there's more crap in it.  The funny thing is, they actually complain about all the sawdust getting on their stuff.   Sorry, didn't mean to get off subject.  Lol!  Your caul looks identical to mine.  Josh
