Hello Dragonman,
Assuming you are looking to make arrows?
While you try to find a good supplier, have you considered buying a plant? Bamboo does not take long to establish itself. Pseudosasa Japonica is a somewhat 'common' species and as you probably know it is also called Japanese Arrow Bamboo.

I will send a PM with the email address of a supplier of bamboo arrow shafts in the UK.
Andrew, are you referring to Mark Hill?
You could drop Hilary Greenland a line, she mentions bamboo on her site.
Thanks again Orda, thats good to know about Hilary Greenlands site, I didnt know she was there, it looks like she is making some nice bows too, a useful contact. and I have asked about bamboo!! Who is the admin. from Wales ? I thought I was on my own out here!!
