This planing form, which I have used and loved for 19 years, features a unique depth design with specifications found nowhere else in the world.
My thanks go to Mr. Yoichi Miura.
I have made one bamboo rod for each of these sheets of paper.
Planing cane is merely one step in the process.
Most of the effort goes into flattening the nodes and straightening the bamboo split.
For me, crafting bamboo rods is life itself.
A rainy day.
