A Few Round Rods

In so many ways this has been a real doozy of a year. I've gotten more than a bit of whiplash from all the ups and downs. But one of the real joys of this past year has been watching Jacob build out more round rods than ever. The process has consisted of days where the kitchen table doubled as a grip gluing station and nights where the sewing room swapped out for an epoxy room. Some days I wasn't sure what kind of chemicals were being combined on my counters and wondered more than once if we had traded in fly fishing for meth cooking. I'm happy to report we haven't, sometimes it just smells that way.

With all this building comes a few rods that need good homes. I've compiled a few of them below.

Please feel free to reach out here with any questions you may have!

Thanks for taking a look!
