Could someone post me a pick of the tonkin bamboo. The stuff you get from Florida, I think I might order some in January. 
Please & thank you.

Bill;
  I'll bring a bundle, or two if more people want some. The last bundle of 500 I got was $60. The most I've ever paid. Shipping really tacks on a bunch more. If you want them for arrows you need to tell them you want 8-10 mm x 4'. That gives you room to work with the spline.

I still have about a half a bundle left if anybody wants some. Even shipping about 3 dozen shafts is close to $30 because of the diameter and length.

Scottski; the name of the place is Bamboo Supply in Lakeland, Fl. Google and call them.

The shafts I got from Mullet are awesome. Some are on the heavy side, but I haven't had one that was bad out of the 40 or so he sent me. Tough stuff. Flies great.

Yes sir mullet, I have looked them up and was going to order some but they didn't have a good picture of them. I want to look at them to make sure that is what I'm looking for, For sure. Don't want to order the wrong stuff.

I have ordered some from them. All of the 500 hundred I ordered is not arrow worthy but alot were. Showed up on my door in about two days.
I wont use anything else unless somebody gives it to me. I love making the arrows as much as I like shooting.
