Hi Tom,
I finished my shorty mid/tip 6'8" bamboo rod with your finish. I really like the way the Dalys oil and Birchwoods turned out. I've already caught a lot of fish with it. I have several other bamboo rods I'm redoing now. How about you? Been out fishing? Last weekend my fly club had an outing in E-Wash. I used my shorty rod at Lenice, Bobby and Dry Falls and released some nice fish. Today I fished Munn with chironomids and released 14. Nothing big, 12"-14" but fun on a 3 wt!---Steve
