    Question Bamboo rod building DVD

    Hi bamboo fans. No pun intended. I am looking for a good video on building bamboo rods from scratch. Right from chopping down your neighbours lucky bamboo plant to the finished product. Does such a video/dvd exist?
    I'm not going to build one, I just want to see how its done.
    For God's sake, Don't Quote me! I'm Probably making this crap up!

    Not a DVD but I've just finish reading George Maurer's book Fundamentals of Building A Bamboo Rod. I read it for much the same reason-to see just how they are made. It was very informative in that respect covering every detail from culm to finish rod. Unfortunately he suddendly passed away a couple of months ago. You can see some of his beautiful work on his website: sweetwaterrods.

    Trouts don't live in ugly places.

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    Gnu Bee,

    Wayne Cattanach sells a Bamboo rod building DVD on ebay. I think it was 25.00. From Culm splitting to wrapping and dipping. It also has an interview with Charles Demerest.
