Welcome

Hello all, I wanted to take a moment to welcome you to my new blog.  The blog is set up to share information with photos of my projects and tools I have made to assist me in building custom splitcane rods.  Over the past few years I have grown very passionate about this process and I enjoy being able to build classic rods that are both functional and a thing of beauty.
