Bamboo No 6

Completed my bamboo rod blank No 6 after working on it for a few weekends. Glad it came out okay but I ain't happy with the workmanship. I think I must have being lacking practising.. Gaps between the strips and bad ... bad ... big visible glue lines..!!!!!!!!!!! I thought I have sharpen the plane but I did not shapen my skill... 

I guess I can't do anything much on the glue lines. I just filled it up with some epoxy.

Other than that, the blank seems to be in good shape.

Another integrated bamboo ferrule construction.



 

The length of this blank is 6'10"
