You are basically right. First, I roughly plane the strips into isosceles triangles (approx. 60°), then into tapered raw splices with oversize, and finally to the exact size. The planing gauge is adjustable with push and pull screws. Greetings Markus
Basicly you plane an squarish 90° bamboo blank into 30° in the first form. Flip it over, make it 60°. Am i correct? When you plane it in the 60° slot, do you make it into an rough finished strip or do you already taper it? I never done this, but i want to make me an splitcane flyrod. I'd like to machine myself a 2 piece mold from squared up steel stock with different depth 60° tapers on 3 corners. Angled to make the first initial 60° untapered blank in the last corner. Don't know if my explanation makes sence.

Do you have plans on how to make your rough planing forum?
Where did you get those metal rough planing forms?
I build it by myself.
