Teach a Man to fish an', well, Hell, there goes the retirement account!" -some anonymous smartass Truer wheels were never spoked, Joe! I paid as much for my class as I would have for a rod from the instructor, and to this day, my wife reviles him in a little hate shrine she built in a corner of the closet. Most any weekend, you can hear her chanting, "Oh, Mister friggin' Leonard, ya think you can gitcher bamboo-splintered butt outta the basement fer 30 minutes and mow the @#$%^& lawn?!? It's on'y been three weeks! (God, I never should-a let him take that @#$%^& bamboo rod class!)" Yes, the entire family can get in on the fun if a member of the household takes the plunge and starts building cane. I still refer to my five-day adventure as the most fun a rodmaker can have with his/her clothes on! [;^) “Give a Man a fish, and he’s in deep doo-doo if he’s stopped by the warden and don’t got a license!
Teach a Man to fish an’, well, Hell, there goes the retirement account!”

Great looking site and even better looking rods. I thought you were the master of perfection in 1996 when you graciously hired me in your shop and introduced me to your work. I realized then that I didn't have the patience, passion, or attention to detail for shaping Cane the way you do. I now realize 3 things: Your works of art have evolved into masterpieces. I need to get on your wait list. We need to fish! Hi Joe! Great looking site and even better looking rods.
