Title: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: kennym on January 09, 2013, 09:01:00 PM
Let me know what you think of these glass colors, old brown in center, 2 new possibilities on either side...

Lightly sanded and 1 coat of quickdry poly shot on em...

Need input on best  or most wanted color...


I think it would be great to have a new glass color!   :bigsmyl:

I like the one on the left.

My vote is the far left, almost a "sugar daddy" candy color.  You can use the name...

I like the one on the left also reminds me of some of the old Bear bows

Middle one.   :laughing:

Put your glasses on Roy that is glass not wood so you cant vote   :readit:

Post by: jsweka on January 09, 2013, 09:16:00 PM
Now I can just see a bow with the middle one on the back and the right one on the belly.

Post by: David Flanrey on January 09, 2013, 09:18:00 PM
First choice is one on left.
Second choice would be old school brown.

C'mon Roy, I thought you liked pink?  :D
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: Dmaxshawn on January 09, 2013, 09:19:00 PM
I guess it's ok.  But the one on the left if I had to choose between the left and right
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: kennym on January 09, 2013, 09:20:00 PM
I'll get a pic in sunlight when I'm home in daytime, the one on right looks better in person....

Post by: So-Mo Archer on January 09, 2013, 09:21:00 PM
Kenny, I'm partial to the left one as well. Like the earlier idea of "Sugar Daddy" for the name too! That would be kinda cool.
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: SportHunter on January 09, 2013, 09:22:00 PM
Left one looks like caramel, real nice color.

The one on the right reminds me of skin. Don't care for that one.

I like the old brown as well.

How did you spray them and not get any over spray on that cardboard? Ya got a secret spray gun, son? :)
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: kennym on January 09, 2013, 09:22:00 PM
The middle is what I stock now, the others are possibilities...
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: kennym on January 09, 2013, 09:25:00 PM
Roy, I probably shouldn't tell all my secrets, but I held the spray can just the right distance from the glass, and the spray dried about .019" from the cardboard and just bounced off it, but stuck on the glass. Ya happy now?  :laughing:
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: Roy from Pa on January 09, 2013, 09:30:00 PM
Thanks.
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: psychmonky on January 09, 2013, 09:55:00 PM
Well Kenny to tie this to that other thread, if you're that good with that spray gun, yer dang sure a master!

I like the left one. Ill wait till I see the pics in the light though.
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: kennym on January 09, 2013, 09:57:00 PM
I was just funnin Roy, if you look close, the one coat barely darkened the cardboard...  :D

Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??

I would need to try both on a bow to tell for sure.  :readit:  
CTT  :D
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: wood carver 2 on January 09, 2013, 10:16:00 PM
The middle one for me, but let's see them in sunlight just to be sure.
Dave.
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: bigbob2 on January 09, 2013, 10:29:00 PM
somethin going for all of them. Depends on riser woods and trims. I could happily make a bow with any of them.
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: LC on January 09, 2013, 10:47:00 PM
Put my glasses on and still like the far left the best! So when will it be available?
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: kennym on January 09, 2013, 10:58:00 PM
Not sure yet, just getting input for my supplier right now. Whatever I can get, I will just for another color tho!
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: oldway on January 09, 2013, 10:59:00 PM
I also like the one on the left.
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: SportHunter on January 09, 2013, 11:05:00 PM
If your looking for colors to add you might want to condsider a dary grey or green if you can find them.
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: stykbow67 on January 09, 2013, 11:05:00 PM
Left one or old school brown for me.

Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: b.glass on January 10, 2013, 02:40:00 PM
THE LEFT ONE!
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: talkingcabbage on January 10, 2013, 04:51:00 PM
Call me crazy but I kinda like the one on the right. I've used the middle one before and it looks great, but I could see a light tan color looking awesome on the belly with a maple under clear on the back.
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: Horn Chaser on January 10, 2013, 06:19:00 PM
I like the one on the left also.
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: tenbrook on January 10, 2013, 07:03:00 PM
far left bud!
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: bamboo on January 10, 2013, 07:23:00 PM
left for sure!!
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: JJB on January 10, 2013, 07:46:00 PM
I vote for the left one also, I like the sugar daddy name too.  If your supplier is open to other colors I'd really really vote for green.

Post by: bigbob2 on January 10, 2013, 08:41:00 PM
As sporthunter says grey would be great too.
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: kennym on January 10, 2013, 08:53:00 PM
I've been after green, but Gordon's haven't produced the proper color yet.

I think these are the 3 choices for now, but always open for new stuff!

Thanks for the input guys! Will let you know if and when we settle on it.
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: bjansen on January 10, 2013, 09:06:00 PM
I like anything different or something that we can't get now.  I think if Gordon's mass produced green for the past 10 years, and we all had green bows, we would all be itching at the chance to get our hands on some brown glass.  Looking forward to either of the colors you get Kenny.
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: kennym on January 10, 2013, 09:35:00 PM
They made a batch of green, the way I understand it, but the color didn't suit em. Don't know where it got to or if they junked it....
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: GodsApocalypse on January 10, 2013, 10:13:00 PM
Hey Kenny,
I personally love the original color in the center.  For the new color, I would prefer the far left as a near second. :-)
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: Crooked Stic on January 10, 2013, 10:33:00 PM
Left and the center ones.
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: Roy from Pa on January 10, 2013, 11:15:00 PM
Ifin ya used real wood instead of glass, ya wood have purty colors son:)
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: monterey on January 11, 2013, 01:39:00 PM
I like right and left!!!!
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: Robertfishes on January 12, 2013, 02:43:00 PM
Just had my hands on 2 newly finished 2013 Bear 59 Kodiaks..brown glass back and Carmel glass bellys..kinda what the left piece looks like..looked good.
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: kennym on January 12, 2013, 03:11:00 PM
Robert, I think caramel is the color mentioned...
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: scottm on January 12, 2013, 06:14:00 PM
I prefer the original brown color. For the new color, I would say the left of center as a near second.By the way kenny dont listen to Roy,he probbly has yellow saw dust in his eyes and cant really see what were talking about and You know you cant trust a guys opinion who mounts his leather clothes on the wall like a trophy..   :D
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: LC on January 12, 2013, 08:27:00 PM
So any idea when this new glass will be available Kenny?
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: kennym on January 12, 2013, 08:42:00 PM
Not sure yet, gotta get back with my supplier....
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: chackworth3 on January 16, 2013, 12:21:00 PM
I like the original brown but I also think that a little darker tan would look pretty sharp.  One maybe in between the left and the right almost like a "coyote" tan...
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: Schafer on January 22, 2013, 08:57:00 PM
Like the one on the left the most.

Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: Knawbone on January 22, 2013, 09:13:00 PM
I like the one on the right, different, yet somehow I think it would blend in with a variety of environments.IMO
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: kennym on January 22, 2013, 09:15:00 PM
We are limited to what Gordons come up with, but think I'll have something in the next order in about a week.

I hope!!
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: Jason Kendall on April 14, 2013, 12:15:00 PM
Kenny, any word yet on this new brown glass?
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: md126 on April 14, 2013, 01:05:00 PM
The one in the middle 1st and the left one 2nd..

nice job Kenny (as always)
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: rockkiller on April 14, 2013, 01:06:00 PM
Left,but would try both.
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: kennym on April 14, 2013, 01:32:00 PM
I hear Bear has a new color on their bows, I'll call my supplier and check if he can get it yet...
Title: Re: HOW BOUT THIS??
Post by: Jason Kendall on August 01, 2013, 12:48:00 PM
I have a couple pieces of the left one in the shop now, no red tint at all like the center (old brown glass) If they keep making it I will offer brown as an option for sure, I like it!

However, since the question was posed so long ago, what's the status?

I'll swim against the tide and pick the right hand one.
