Incredible! The skill and patience involved. Whoever invented this technique was a very persistent person.
Best,

If I tried this the first thing I would need to learn is how to weave fingers back onto my hands.

I have always wanted to build my own Chinese Dragon Kite in the traditional manner. Watching this guy splitting the cane makes it look so easy. But my fingers don't have the required dexterity. I have trouble putting flies on a leader, let alone tying them.

I am quickly realizing that I have NO natural talent... But I am trying to fake it.
