Bamboo Scoop Handle

I know it's been done before but I came across some Bamboo today at Ace hardware and thought I'd give it a try. I replaced the fiberglass handle on my Starv Scoop and cut the weight down by nearly 1.5 LBS. the scoop and handle are now exactly 3 LBS! I put a cork in the top to keep my good finds as the cavity makes a nice holding spot and also put a section of aluminum in the tip for reinforcement, just in case!

I took it for a spin this afternoon and it performed perfectly and what a difference in the weight, I can carry this thing all day!

Bamboo Scoop Handle
 
sounds very cool!! finds in the hollow area is very interesting as well.
 
SP, you are become one of my Hero's with your Mod's!!
 
Very interesting. If the aluminum is snug in the stainless steel tube, it might start to corrode quickly. Especially if it's used in salt water. Electrolysis. Maybe a thin layer of vinyl tape might prevent it. Wouldn't want to damage that great scoop. I have the KREPISH, anl love it.
