Thinking about a first bamboo build

OK, I'm very intrigued about bamboo. I love slower graphite and fiberglass. I've built about 20 rods, and feel up to the challenge of building a boo from a premade pre-ferruled blank.

Got a couple of questions....

reel seat - i understand you fit the blank to the reel seat. How is this done?

do you use CP on silk thread traditionally in bamboo?

what finish is usually used and do you have to finish the whole blank, even with treated blanks?

who besides mike brooks, tim zietak, and matt west would you reccomend for a 7' 4wt 2 piece blank?

Any references that you would reccomend?
