Title: first new order of clear glass
Post by: BigJim on May 19, 2015, 07:27:00 AM

Well, I graded every piece of clear glass I just got in last week and I will have to say that It has been a long time since I have had any this good.
I'm not saying it is perfect and I haven't glued any up yet. What I am saying is that very few if any lines have shown up in my grading.

Typically what that means is that any imperfections that show after glue up will be small and not likely noticeable unless put over the darker veneers...even then not a big problem.

Now I have only received UL so far (I have the colors as well) and will be getting my ULS in a few days.

We should have it back on the website for sale already. Keep us in mind for any veneers or riser block purchases too. I have several hundred board feet of exotics in over 60 species available but haven't had time this year to get pictures of it all to post on our site.

Thanks, bigjim

Orders filled.
Remember guys, I have everything you need to build bows...glue, air hose, hose plugs, tapers, glass, parallels, and a huge stock of exotics and not so exotics for veneers and riser blocks.

I vow to have a big selection of woods on the web site soon...really, I mean it  :)  but for now you will either have to send me a note or call us.
thanks, bigjim

I know he has or did have two if not three shades of brown. I recently got some dark brown and black from him and he suggested a black back and brown belly, glad I listened, I like it. Got some clear ordered this morning.

Sorry R.W. but no green or orange...never seen orange except on some of the older bows.

May be some green available in near future.

thanks, bigjim
