Hi James

I would be interested in bamboo if it is larger than 100mm in dia. Also needs to have node spacings of more than 300mm.

Where in Victoria are you?

G'day

I would be interested in some as well but I would be only interested in lenghts with a consistent diameter of 8mm for arrows.

Don't know if this helps your cause though

Happy shooting :)

James,
Do you already have some bamboo on your plantation or are you preparing to plant some. What species is it?

I'd be interested in culms greater than 100mm diameter, and less than 15mm, for both arrows and bows. Shipping from Queensland can be expensive, so you might be onto something!

How mature is the plantation? If greater than 4-5 years you can start selling immediately.
