How My Grandfather Inspired Me To Create Timber&Fins.

When you receive something that has been passed down from a family member, it's a feeling that's hard to describe. It's a mixture of admiration for the craftsmanship and a sense of connection to your family's history. I remember feeling this way when my grandfather gave me a model sailboat that he had built. Holding it in my hands and examining every detail, I knew that it was something special. It was a tangible representation of my grandfather's love and care, and it meant the world to me.

That's the feeling we want to recreate with our handcrafted fly fishing gear. At Timber&Fins we believe that handcrafted products are superior to mass-produced ones. Each piece is unique, with its own character and personality. When you purchase one of our products, you're not just buying a piece of gear, you're investing in something that will last a lifetime. Our range of handcrafted fly fishing gear includes leather reel cases, fly wallets, rod tubes, and buffalo fly tying mats, all designed to not only look great but also withstand the test of time.

We put the same care and attention to detail into every piece that my grandfather put into that sailboat he made for me. Our hope is that when you hold our gear in your hands, you'll feel that same sense of connection to craftsmanship, history, and family that I felt when I received that sailboat from my grandfather.
