Now that my back is on the mend, catching up on a few orders.
Another Dark Matter net heading off to a customer in Cape Breton.

Always an honour and lots of fun introducing people to the pastime I love.

Decided to “hot rod customize” my cane.

Figure the New Scotland Fly Rods decal gained me 0.005 mph, and the Brook Trout (Liz Bateman art) one probably another 0.001 mph.

Maybe it’s the meds talking, but feeling kinda speedy, might do a flame job later.😜

The shop boss making sure I’m not slacking and QC-ing my work.
She’s a stickler for detail and likes to make a bed out of the shavings when I'm planing strips!😜
