Drawn tubing ferrules, machined and soldered by hand, are widely considered the finest (though labor-intensive) option available for the bamboo rodmaker. The hardness achieved through this method, with proper lapping and maintenance, results in a smooth-fitting ferrule that is resistant to galling through repeated use in real-world conditions. These are properties not typically found in ferrules turned from softer solid bar stock using CNC machines. We are proud to share this tradition with today’s most discerning craftsmen.
