putting glass between lams?

[Longtoke]

I noticed one of my bows has a layer of glass in the middle of the lams.  what would the pros and cons of this approach be?  Has anyone else tried it?

Prolly core tuff. They used to use it to stabilize. There is also uniweft (a woven glass for that also.

Pro: nice Colour accent, maybe a Bit torsional stability
Con: adds weight to the limb

The lightest weight glass product you can use for torsional stability in the core is Stable Core. its only .015 thick. Seems to work best right under the glass on back side of the limb though... If its dead center of the core it's pretty much a cosmetic  racing stripe.

A thin twill or bias weave carbon works better for stability. For a rock solid light weight recurve i've used .015 twill over stable core on the back and got incredible torsional strength in a 30# radical recurve limb. It felt as stiff as a 60# limb torsionally.   Kirk
