Engraving on Bamboo Rods

[SandroDaComo]

These are pictures of engravings on a bamboo rod reel-seat butt and ferrule that I saw recently (see here



I started making bamboo rods (while I am resuming my poor engraving exercises). If anybody has done engraving on bamboo rods I can speak about them on my website...

Hi Alessandro,
First welcome aboard, I’m happy to found some one less active than me in Steve’s forum .

I’ve heard before of Switzerland rodmakers gathering by a thread of Christian in our French forum ( le forum de Gillum)
I’m not still a bamboo rod maker but I’ve been involved in this art by two friends of mine ( from Miramas)
They are learning how to engrave with push gravers , and I’ll learn how to make a bamboo rod.
Here’s some of Antoni’s first work ( acid etching on reel seat) http://fotos.miarroba.com/fotos/3/5/35475deb.jpg

You have some engravers here that make fantastic job on fishing rods : you know certainly Ray Cover’s website ?

In your website you’re talking about Jaroslav Vecko, have you some of his work to show us please ?

You say the engraving of the rod you show in your picture , was made by a Belgian engraver, do you know his name please ? He’s certainly coming to this forum…

Greetings
