SaltCreekStudio

Salt Creek Studio resides in a stand alone outbuilding behind my house. It sits nestled up to the woods in the back with a view of the valley out the front. While I love fly fishing, woodworking is my passion. I love designing and creating products for fly fishermen that are both functional and beautiful. I am particularly proud of my rod tubes and rod racks. In this disposable world, my goal is to create products that are cherished by their owners and passed down to the next generation.
I have chosen to use the word “studio” in my name instead of “shop” or “workbench” because when I hear the word studio I think of art. I think that conveys what I’m trying to do. I’m trying to create functional items with a view to the design and the artistic elements.
My studio has a mix of newer tools and some old favorites. Some of these were passed down to me from my father, my grandfather, and even my great-grandfather. I have found that some of the best woodworking hand tools are the old Stanley tools built in the USA before World War II. The old cast iron power tools built in the 30’s and 40’s were built to last forever. I recently restored a 1930 Delta drill press and put it back to work. It should be good for another 90 years. My 1940 Delta lathe also still has plenty of life left in it.
