Sleek - don't know the difference but from what I've seen had my heart set on hill cane.

Pat - I will look you up in a few months, thanks.

I have 3 dozen pieces of tonkin bamboo shafting that I received in trade from mullet. I'd be happy to offer that if you're interested. You'll still need to straighten the shafts and sand the nodes. Mullet said they'd make shafts that spine in the 55-65 pound range, if my memory serves me.
