straightening bamboo fly rod strips

About last night…

…and this bamboo fly rod making class.
.
Okay, I skipped a day because the second day of class started out with straightening strips and the night ended with math! 
So, I decided not to tell the tale. 
However, I got through it and finally tamed my bamboo strips.
.
This is how the day started
This is the only way to end a day after wrestling with bamboo strips
 

 

EDITOR’S NOTE: Oyster's original blog was on the oldie but goodie platform, Blogger, in 2009, before moving to WordPress. You may find a copy of this post on “The Bamboo Fly Rod Maker’s Widow” blog HERE. I have tried to preserve the integrity—or lack thereof—of each “Widow” post, especially to reflect the resources—or lack thereof—available at the time, as time and technology continue to freak me out evolve.  Also... (insert excuse here) grammar check was not as accessible.
