Ben Meadows Bamboo
scattershot:
Just curious, why would you order the next size up if these are flying well for you?
mullet:
The good thing about living near the Bamboo Supply is I get to look and choose which bundles I want. And they have given me bundles that have split open for free. ;D
DanaM:
I went with Ben Meadows as the shipping was cheaper than Bamboo supply, guess I'm just cheap eh :)

I have yet to get them done, but I got some tonkin from Bamboo and Rattan Works. We've used them many times for rattan for kids bows. I've had people tell me to get the 8-10mm, 4 footers, then cull them out. The helpful fella at B&RW recommended I go with a 6 ft length that's 10-12mm on the big end, then glean your arrow from within that stake. You'll get more good 'uns. I believe I actually will get more keepers this way. I have a bunch straightened and sanded and cut to about 3-4 feet right now, just haven't gotten them done yet. I'll post pics when I do. Hmmm, maybe if some of you folks come to MOJam next summer, there'll be some sorted bundles of nice straight shafts in the auction or ready for trade. ;)
p.s. This has nothing to do with suppliers, just the info on using 6 footers.
