How to make a split-cane fishing rod

While you can read the full article in The Guardian at www.guardian.co.uk/money/2009/aug/22/split-cane-fishing-rods and watch the video at www.guardian.co.uk/money/interactive/2009/aug/20/split-cane-fishing-rod-edward-barder, we are delighted to share Jon Henley's concluding comments.
“... The result, says Edward in very English understatement, “looks nice”. Actually, it's a work of art as much as a feat of engineering, frighteningly delicate yet immensely powerful. It will sell for between £1,400 and £1,800, and a fisherman seeking perfection will have to wait 18 months for one. Looked after, it will last generations.”
