    I'm not sure if this is like what you mean, but it sure fits the description.
    It is one of the rods I inherited from my Grand Father and Dad. I know for sure it dates back to the 1920's to 1930's, maybe further back.
    I'd be glad to share more pictures with you to offer more detail.
    I routinely fish with this rod and others I have from Grandpa and Dad, all Bamboo, except the one Dad made for me from Fenwick blanks for spinning.
    It is my belief the intermediate wrappings are to stabilize and strengthen the bamboo making up the rod.
    Be glad to offer more pictures for you.

    Edit in:
    I have other boo's as well. Be glad to share pictures for you to make like rods from. Like I said, I fish with them.
    Each is a unique and a one of a kind creation.
