Title: GrayBark
Post by: GaryB on March 22, 2009, 03:08:00 AM

What kind of wood is graybark? Is it simply stained gray? I like the look of the BW gray bark bows, but can't figure out where to get it. Any ideas?

If you havent found the answer it basically a block of laminated birch, approximatley 25-30 sheets individually dyed and glued together.

I believe the main supplier of this material is Rutlan Plywood company, the material is called stratabond.  You can obtain it from them, but if you want a smaller quantity you can also get riser blanks from Bingham's (called coreflex superaction there).  Grey coreflex superaction is my favorite material to use...
