Title: Brown glass does it come in different shades of brown?
Post by: longrifle on March 28, 2015, 02:25:00 PM

Just wondering if the brown glass you guys use is all the same shade or does it come in lighter ( caramel) or darker( dark chocolate ) color?

It does come in a caramel color if you can find it. I like it better than the older purply lookin brown.

How will you know what you will get. Or is it a coin toss?

Be careful to explain exactly what you are after. As I remember, the new caramel is called dark brown?

Even tho lighter in color than the old purply stuff.

Tell Mike I said howdy too!

It seems I get it in lighter shade in the past year or so from Bingham's, I was partial to the really dark brown that made the reddish colored dust.  (I called it dark chocolate brown and the new color I call doo doo brown)

I've got about 4 colors of brown in my shop right now. Seems like a little bit of a coin toss even after you talk to your supplier and look at photos if you don't go see it in person. But, that's what makes this fun.

I have a Kanati with the newer brown glass. I refer to it as turkey turd tan.

Looks like rosewood archery's site has a problem. Wouldn't let me view the glass.
