Fred has been carving for over 25 years and presents his work at wildlife shows throughout the year.

The main focus of our business are items such as fly tying cases, unique zingers (retractors) and bookmarks, wader hangers, nets and fly boxes. We also carry wood carved items for the fly fishing person such as carved pins and carved trout.
We like to see natural wood and avoid the use of stains which hide the grain and figure of wood. Small knots and spalting add to the nature of wood and these are included when possible in our work. The carved and painted trout items try to match the natural beauty of these fish as closely as possible.
