At first I thought the same thing, but it looked to me that only the ends were glued, however after re-reading this link http://www.rodbuildingtutorials.com/...20Tutorial.pdf he applies glue to the entire length of rattan. I dont see this handle going any where. The only problem I could see is if the rattan get damaged, re-wrapping may be a challage.
