Boo No. 5 tip section

Did some work on the bamboo over the weekend and completed the bamboo tip section.
This will be another integrated bamboo ferrule system bamboo rod.

NS ferrule is just to expensive. Guess I'll just have to stick with this integrated bamboo ferrule for awhile.

Next will be the butt section....

In the process.................

Just finish my 60º rough strips over the weekends.

There are quite abit of molds on the enamel layer and I decided to darken the strips by heat treatment. The mold and dark spots are now being camouflaged by the dark color of the strips.


 My toasted rough strips...

Next process....  planning!

A slow start in the middle of the year..

Things have been going pretty slow....
I have just finished straighten 15 bamboo strips for my up coming rod....
Hope things will pick up in July...
