You could put out a wanted ad here in the Classifieds for a few one or two or three culms...

Use the SEARCH for justification and reasoning.

If you are anywhere near Reno NV I can sell you a few culms. PM me if you are interested. Shipping isn’t worth it I’d need to charge you $75 for shipping to break even on time materials and shipping.

If you post in the classifieds that you want to buy, the scammers come out of the woodwork.
BTW, I would drive 100 miles from the Dallas area to pick up 10 or 12 culms, if anybody out there has them

There are a couple of bundles and an open bundle in my warehouse in Oshkosh, WI. This is David's stock.

Thank you for the tip on the scammers. But I’m from south western Pennsylvania

I'm in Columbus, Oh and have some of Dave's culms. I won't ship but you're welcome to a couple culms at cost. I brought them back myself. So no shipping cost. Just pick them up.

I received a shipment from David at Anglersbamboo last week. He fit four culms in a 6 foot carton, cut and taped together in pairs. He shipped it via UPS, the carton arrived in great condition and the culms look really nice.
