The Studio 01/02/2012
 
Thought I would start the new year off right and give you a quick look at the home of "Renaissance Rods" .  I don't consider it a shop, I consider it a studio.  I feel that myself and many other custom rod builders are Artisans, not just rod assemblers.  So I dubbed it "The Studio".

I was fortnuately able to keep much of the old lumber from a late 1800s constructed  building I dismantled for a friend.  That lumber went into "The Studio" giving it instant character.  It was a great project for me.  I was able to build the entire shop, including the pine cabinets, without any assistance, so I can really call her my own.

"The Studio" has one purpose and that  is to be devoted entirely to fly fishing.  When not building rods, the studio is used for fly tying.  As I told the wife "Fly fishing only, no household storage and no girly curtains on the windows." 
Thanks for checking out "The Studio".  If you are ever on the Central Coast of California, shoot me an e-mail and stop by for a tour and a cold beverage

Until next time my friends,
Pete
