Title: lookin for raw bamboo shafts
Post by: aero86 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.

 You can have all the boo I have for whatever you feel is fair. I have it cut in 4' sections so you have plenty of room to striaghten and size.
