Fishing Furniture.
If you’re anything like me, when it comes to fishing equipment then you’ll no doubt understand the moral dilemmas faced on where your rods and reels should best be stored. Often worth a small fortune, it seems only logical that such expensive and highly prized possessions be stored under the safety of ones own roof. This of course is all good and well from a male perspective but when it comes to the better half and she who should be obeyed, fishing equipment does not rate as furniture.
Most often, prized rods and reels valued at more than a thousand dollars are banished to the back shed where spiders use them as fastening points to spin their webs. Meanwhile a fifty-dollar vase takes pride of place center table for the entire world to see, not a spider in sight.
Logic would say that a vase worth fifty bucks used to hold flowers is far less important than a thousand dollar fishing combo that has become the corner stone of a spider’s house. But logic is often lost in such gender related matters and in order to find common ground we need to go down the road of mediation, enter Mark Kingston. Mark’s mediating skills are 25 years in practice and are projected through his work as a cabinetmaker. Thwart with the same problem, Mark sought common ground through a range of finely crafted pieces of fishing furniture used to hold rods, reels and tackle. He has developed four different models each holding up to ten rods, two of which come with a built in reel and tackle cupboard on the end of the unit. Depending on what species of fish take your preference, each piece can be engraved with either a Murray cod, snapper, tuna or a trout. Such a simple idea has bought bliss into many households and adds new meaning to the words furniture king. Everybody’s happy, the lovely wife gets some new furniture, the man of the house has a spot indoors to store his beloved fishing gear, and the only ones missing out are the spiders. I wonder if they’d mind living in that vase that used to take pride of place before the real furniture arrived.
