First, you will have to find someone with wood shafting long enough to accommodate your long draw.
Another option would be cane shafts.

Same boat ! Got axis from D&M at around 33 inches , Gary also mentioned he could get me arrow dynamics upto 35 inches.
I shoot with standard 125 grains up front but even then my a
340 spine arrows were slightly weak

I shoot 32 inch woodies. You can start by buying heavy spine POC shafts and a spine tester. Then you can foot the arrows to length. There is also a book called "The Dowel Arrow" that is very helpful if you want to go with dowels from the hard ware store.
