Redwing Custom Built Rods
Each Redwing Rod Is A Specific Design And Inspiration, Drawn Around A “Purpose Built” Desire To Be Anything But Standard Or Normal!
I hand plane and try to keep the use of power tools to an absolute minimum. The more I am in touch with the materials, the more I get a sense of the individual rod, and it’s own demands. I believe each rod has a voice that helps me direct it to the collaboration of purpose and outcome. The more hands-on, the better!
If you see a rod here that has been sold, another can be made to order the same as the original or as you would like.
