The Drift Net

Your go-to net for mountain creeks and tailwaters alike. Handmade from North American hardwoods using traditional bent-wood techniques, with an axe-inspired handle designed for secure grip and easy holstering. Built to gather the story of every river you wade.

From wild places to gathered spaces.

Designed with intention. Heirloom craft.

Our Studio


We're Ethan and Amanda—a husband and wife working from our studio in North Carolina. What we create connects us to the places we go and the people we share life with. What started as a simple desire to create became something deeper: a practice of slowing down, honoring the seasons we're in, and making work that holds meaning beyond itself. Whether it's time on the water or moments around the table, we craft objects that become part of your story.
