I'm always watching these kind of threads because I want to try one someday. I'm nowhere near ambitious enough to even think about starting from a raw culm. I like the idea of ready made blanks for a 'starter', and think those are a great idea for a first timer. I'm not even sure for a first, for me, if I want to mess with ferrules. That seems to be the first decision in starting with a pre-made blank. With or without mounted ferrules? But then if you get a blank (most have extra tip) and with no ferrules, are ferrules sold as a 3 piece set for a two piece rod or do you you have to buy 2 sets of ferrules?
