Mike let me say it this way my core was designed 48 lb @31 including 1 peace of stabil kore .042 glass, I'm changing the stack .030 ul clear over stabil kore so that will be addition of another peace of stabil kore the stack will change about .004 thicker I realize  I should pick up a little weight but going to narrow front view 1 1/4 so my question is , is this stabil kore really neutral as claimed or did you pick up aditional weight ?

Are you using the stabil core to increase speed?  My understanding it helped with torsional stability.  I haven't used it so far.

Yes  sorta of every sense Mike mentioned it I like the idea and when I saw the cool weave in it I wanted to use it for looks and the ability to narrow up the limbs and still be stable hoping to increase speed by lowering the mass !

I would think it helps in a longbow with a lot of reflex. And really good in a curve. And it may help speed if you get a more narrow limb. but you gonna need a chrono to see it.

Thanks Mike I'm finishing out the 62 in. with the single peace of SK & building another 64 in. with 2 peaces under clear glass , just have to rebuild my topless form with metal pegs tomorrow got a rain day !

I like it to bad they don't make different colors to, Mike is this stuff pre sanded just use as is ?

Clean it and it is ready.

Thank you sir 👍🏻

Here are some pics of the latest one.

Looks Great!! 

I like that wood combo, looks fantastic.

SWEET !!

Hey Mike you been playing with this design for a while now let me ask you this if you dont mind , what do you think on a ruff guess my increase in draw weight would be for incressing my stack .004 on a 62 in. one ? The stack was originaly designed for .042 glass & one peace of stabil-kore ,Im dropping the glass to .030 & adding another peace of stabil-kore ? I wont hold you to it...lol just ruffly ?

I have no idea. Have not built a 62 yet. My guess is you will loose or gain 6-7 lbs. for 2 in. difference with a bow in the 50lb. range. The stacks Kenny gave me .001 gained or lose a pound. I have not built enough different stacks to know for sure yet.

There is also a thread on another forum talking about different rolls of Bear Paw glass same thickness having weaker spine and the stacks being off.

[attachment=1,msg2826564]Ok then thanks I will stick to the original plan ,I read the same thing about stabil-kore coming in lighter also , I have not made a 62 only 60,64 the 62 is just about ready to go !

I don't think those will break on you 

Ritchie, are those steel rods made from allthread?  Can't really see it very well but it seems like that would be the only way you got those nuts on both sides.  What is the spacing on them?

Always looking for a better idea on these topless forms.

Mike I just cut the wood ones off flush & drilled out the centers like a wood bushing & inserted round 3/8 thread stock & put 3/8 tubing over them to dampen the threads from the mule tape I think there 2 in. centers 36 of them in all ,these curvy forms put a lot of compound presures on the wood had 6 of the wood ones break & ruin my bow☹️
