Look for a bamboo supplier and buy poles if necessary. I found one in the UK.
The guy was really helpful and told me they did 2metre strips for bowyers even tho it wasn't on their site.
I was originally going to buy poles and cut my own strips.

The only ones I've found on eBay all say 72" and when I ask the seller they say it's all they've got. Hence my questions to the only experts I know.
