Rodmakers
Intro...
Samuel Phillippe
Pennsylvania, USA, 1801–1877
Musical instrument maker and weaponsmith. Considered the founder of split cane rod making after building a rod from 4 bamboo splices in 1846 (3-piece, handle made of ash).
The first rod built entirely from bamboo splices was made by Ebenezer A. Green (c. 1860).
In the history of rod making, Samuel Phillippe is often cited as the father of split cane rods. However, this doesn't seem to be so clear-cut!
