This is just a little homemade website to show off a bit. It started with a little woodturning, but I piddle with all sorts of stuff. Mostly wood, but some ceramics and other mediums, dulcimers, flutes, bamboo fly rods, fishing nets, furniture and occasionally some really neat stuff. Enjoy and thanks for stopping to take a look.-Robin

Bamboo Fly Rods and Fly Boxes
Here are a few bamboo fly rods and wood fly boxes. First off-I didn't craft the rod blanks. It would take me years (if ever) to build a good bamboo rod blank, so I did the next best thing-find someone else. These blanks were made by some very talented craftsmen from the US. All I did was turn the reel seats, add the guides and handles, choose the thread colors and wrap the guides, and add a protective finish-the fun stuff. And they actually catch fish-imagine that.

You can check out my Dulcimers and Fishing nets on their own page from the menu at the top of this page
Like I don't have enough things going on.
I love the colors in pottery that I can't achieve with wood. And I love utilitarian items.

A few more woodturning photos
I also just had to try my hand at a few canoe paddles-which of course added a whole nuther can of worms to be opened. This one was a gift to my Naturalist daughter-Paddling instructor as well as many other things.
A quick shot of a few Native American style wood flutes. I like the colorful wood combinations I can choose from and the beautiful soulful sound.
