Once all of the finish has been removed and the rod wiped with a clean dry cloth, the shaft can be inspected for any separations in the glue bonds. If there are none, a new blade, again drawn slowly backwards across the surface, will result in extremely fine curlings of cane/bamboo. The result should be a shiny, polished surface patina on the cane as shown. In the photo at the lower left you will notice that the top plane of the bamboo on the left side has not been washed; onthe right has not had the finish removed; on the facing plane on the left is a section with the finish removed and a distinct line from that point to the right where the finish has been removed and the shaft has been polished. |
