I am looking for good suggestions to obtain raw madake.

Hello Badoumba,

You might try Tom Deaver and Monty Levenson. They occasionally sell madake.

Good luck!

Aloha,
Not still sure if you are still looking - or for what grade you are looking for. I am selling off some low grade stock to make some room in the workshop. Stock is from Kumamoto and was harvested between '94-'95, cured in the traditional way. Basically stuff for beginners to practice your crafting skills on and is considered low grade due to age, spacing of fushi and for no usable roots, etc. etc. About 30 pieces available. Looks like priority mail will run ~$10.00 for 1-2 pieces. Am asking $30 per piece with roots or $20 per piece for non root end pieces + shipping (unless you wish to pick up in Hawaii!). Can figure actual shipping for multiple pieces. Poles are numbered and pics with measurements/commenst are at my hotmail space: http://koshizan.spaces.live.com/
Will update these pics as availablity changes.
Email me at the left or here:

for questions, comments or ordering. Can take checks or paypal.
Mahalos,
David Amann

PS Can't get to mail on the weekends - so will reply on Monday or the next business day.

That being said, as a begainer practicing crafting skills, this material is very helpful indeed, and the transaction was quick and a pleasure.
