Finger cots over leather gloves yet I still bleed from time to time. When Hoagy Carmichael was showing us how to make a bamboo fly rod at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center a few years ago, even he cut himself!

Leaving some of your blood, sweat or tears in a hand-planed bamboo rod is nearly universal. Perhaps the next level of fly rod authentication will be testing DNA to match the maker! [LOL] 😁
