The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why, and Where phases. For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question ‘How can we tie?’ the second by the question ‘Why do we tie?’ and the third by the question ’Where shall we find rope to tie with?’

Phoenix 42 Creations may not be the actual answer to life, the universe, and everything, but it is the only place to find handmade and finished jute rope in the Southwest. We offer a wide range of specifications, colors, and custom options so that you can tie with exactly what works best for you (and looks best on those pictures you’ll be posting on FetLife and Instagram.) We also put some serious time and effort into crafting some of the finest hardwood paddles you’ll come across, with a unique design that you won’t find anywhere else.

Every item I make is hand made and finished, one at a time, piece by piece. No huge batches, fed through a machine setup, or bought in bulk and then worked from there. I’ve got a pile of jute twine, hardwoods, and the materials and equipment needed to make everything into what you see here.
