Hello all.
Ive built plenty of graphite rods over the past few years, but after attending the Midwest Fly Fishing expo this past weekend and seeing all the nice bamboo rods I think it's time I read up and possibly try to build one myself.
Since you all seem pretty knowledgable on the subject of bamboo rods I was wondering if you cold recommend a good "how to" book for bamboo rod building.
Any help is much appreaciated.

"Handcrafting Bamboo Fly Rods" Wayne Cattanach --Excellent
"Fundamentals of Building a Bamboo Fly-Rod" Maurer and Elser -- very good-- cook book aproach
" A Masters Guide to Building a Bamboo Fly Rod" Garrison and Carmichael not intended as a how to -- more od a documentary og how Garrison worked, Tons of excellent info
If I had to build from just one I would probably choose Cattanach
On the web there is just tons of excellent info start w/ [url=http://www.canerod.com/:9d34a]http://www.canerod.com/[/url:9d34a]
and [url=http://www.bamboorodmaking.com/:9d34a]http://www.bamboorodmaking.com/[/url:9d34a]
There are lots of others which can mostly be found by following links on these sites or if you have a specific area of inquiry ask away, betcha someone will know how to find it.
