SPLIT BAMBOO RODMAKING 155 If your material is Tonkin cane, practically the same rules laid down for Calcutta may be applied to it, though Tonkin generally seems to be free from worm holes. You will know how to bevel two sides of each one of your strips, to make its section tri- angular, with the apex exactly opposite the center of the enamel base, and the angle formed by the two sides to be 60 degrees, as illustrated in Fig. 50, p. 162. There are " forty-'leven" ways to do the rough beveling, and as many more methods employed in finishing the strips. Yo

You can be- gin to bevel the strips in the grooved edge of a tongued-and-grooved board. Another way is to nail a strip of wood near the edge of your work bench, forming a right-angled rabbet. Some rodmakers use a hardwood block with rabbets cut in two corners. Still another plan is to prepare two blocks like those illustrated. i r.
