lookin for raw bamboo shafts
« on: January 05, 2011, 11:30:27 pm »
ive officially run out of bamboo.  had lots last year, but ive went through them all.  so im looking for more.  ive got dried river cane, and ive got some cane drying as we speak.  but id like some bamboo to work thats already dried, just nothing done to it yet.  i recieved some awesome japanese arrow bamboo from stringstretcher, wish he had more! lol.  but if anyone has anything, let me know.  i might even take some raw, un cured shafts as well.

 I've got raw, just cut hill cane. Cut it last week.

 If you don't find any, let me know. I have about two dozen arrow-boo shafts dried and not straightened.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I only have a few left in that range aero86, sorry.  Not enough to do you any good right now.  I am sure I will be cutting some in the near future though.
