Did this over a few days trying to gain some experience and skills. An old KBB Yelo Bole that was in terrible shape. Even the stem is trashed. Good practice piece though.
Well I broke the shank twice! I learned how much pressure they can take pushing a new stem in, LOL. Its kinda short and the draw hole in the shank is off center a little so the stem doesnt line up well. Trying to decide what to do now. Its still in condition to bring about a decent result somehow though.
A little progress. Found a way the deal with the misalignment of the tenon/mortice. The bamboo section is a bit long maybe but she smokes pretty cool. The bamboo is still dirty from harvesting as yet. May flame burn/stain it.
