My wife works as a German Diplomat and therefore we are travel around the world. 4 years Lithuania, 4 years San Francisco, 2 years Montreal and of course some years Berlin, a lot of countries will follow and in every country I learn more about bamboo rod building.

The name Gespliesste means split cane in German
