Return to Fishing rods handles main page.

A fisherman must be of a contemplative mind, for it is a long time between bites. ~ Herbert Hoover

This all started out as a personal challenge to see if I could make a handle for a fishing rod out of wood that would look as nice as some of the great things I had seen people doing with corks. It must have worked because I have been honored to have been asked to have some of my stuff featured in magazines and to have been asked to present seminars on how to make some of the designs I have come up with.  My thanks to those who have so honored me.
