Title: Has any Canadian thought about buying a roll of glass?
Post by: oldandslow on April 12, 2021, 01:27:07 PM: Just curious if it would be easier to get a roll of glass and offer it for shipping in strips to Canadian bowyers considering the hassle of US orders?
However I forsee issues with sizes...

Might look a little funny humping a big roll of fiberglass thru the woods :biglaugh:

Post by: wood carver 2 on April 12, 2021, 05:15:03 PM: That’s the problem. The border is closed until who knows when. I normally go down to Ohio for the last week of April and again in December. This is two turkey seasons in a row missed.

However I forsee issues with sizes...

I expect sizing wouldn't be too much of a problem if you picked a very typical size like 0.040" x 1.75". People would work with it if the supply is reasonably priced.

Now that's a real catastrophe. What brand are you missing?

Great taste and it goes into my barbecue sauce for ribs.
Jack Daniels Honey isn’t even a pale shadow of it.

I can see using Bourbon for cooking, but drinking?

I've never tried any of the honey bourbons. Maybe I will have to see what I can find around here and get a bottle.

It's just a personal taste thing. I don't like rye whiskey much at all but I do like bourbon and scotch.
