Try Jaap Koppedrayer of Yumi archery. We harvest our own bamboo shafts and culms for bows.This way we know what the quality is.You can buy raw shafts and do the work yourself or finished shafts.I assure you, that you'll be pleased with quality.

Is Yumi still in business?

The phone number from his website isn't working today (says it's been disconnected).

Yumi Bows is in Jessop Georgia. His Canadian phone is disconnected but here is the home phone (912) 586-2763. I'm going there in one week to harvest bamboo for bows and arrows for next year.
