Looking for Rattan Source

I would like to try building a rattan (covered) fly rod grip. Can anyone provide me with a source for rattan strips (2.5 - 3 mm wide), suitable for building grips?

thanks for any help.

Thank you. An excellent video, but their rattan is extra fine. I'm hoping to find something around 3 mm wide.
