Ah, bummer. That one looked to be in pretty nice shape, and all the
sections were the same length.
My rods go for $1500, $1600 if hollow built. Hollow building is done by
fluting each individual strip, so that the center of the rod, when glued
up, looks sorta like a 6 leaf clover (of air). I
No, I missed that one but I'll keep looking.
What kind of price range is your rods?

Dave,
The machine is fully functional now. Been cutting some very nice
strips. I'll be taking the first rod made from the machine fishing this
weekend. I've only been lawn casting it, but it came out beautiful.
Some of the older cane rods can be bought reasonably inexpensively.
There are s
John,
Now, if he ever wants a higher end rod, I make 'em. ;-) That's what my
machine was designed for.

If I can find him something that is serviceable and a step above his
walmart rod I think he will be a happier guy. He is always helping me
and never asks for anything... so I just want to do a little something
for him.

I don't think that "economical and bamboo" go together in the fly
fishing world.
Mark, on this list, has a bamboo rod making machine setup. I'm not
sure if it fully functional yet though.

that he uses and has expressed a desire to get a split bamboo rod. All I
know about fly fishing fits on a pin head... I do know more
