Making Bamboo Rods

...with Russ Gooding

How-To Video: Making Bamboo Rods by Russ Gooding 3_bulb Review this video!

Aesthetic decisions, fit, and finish define the quality of a split bamboo rod long before an angler tests its action over rising fish. An elegant rod is a harmonious composition, melding classic styling with components that hark back to the era of our forefathers: agate stripping guides, fine silk threads, cork, native wood, nickel silver, and natural oil & resin varnishes. Well finished, a bamboo rod looks good, feels good, and even smells good. Although each rodmaker will choose a different aesthetic, all rodmakers must master the details of fit and finish.

If you've got the machines, no worries! I was hoping for a "lower tech" method of building with tools readily available. This guy even uses a wrapping machine. What's hand made about that?
