Beautiful work as always DC
RG - now sure if you watched the vid I posted but they use modern machines for some of the process... Cant imagin hand planing 6 strips to get the right action.
Thanks, KP, I'll let you have it for the day when I come up. The first three bamboo rods I restored were destroyed in a basement flood along with all of my fly tying stuff at the time. I lost interest for many years after that, I think I was grieving. Then this Old Fart With A Flyrod called Trapper or something, managed to rekindle the flame. All I can say is Thanks!Oh...and YOU COST ME A LOT OF MONEY Ya old buzzard! RG
It's just a fish pole KP. You'll be fine.RG
