And there is a charge for wiping drool off returned lumber....

Pago · June 17, 2018, 01:54:10 PM

Awesome, less components I need to get from another vendor!

Roy from Pa · June 17, 2018, 03:05:04 PM

I dunno...

May have to think about that one...

monterey · June 17, 2018, 10:29:21 PM

You could always have an assistant wipe off the drool and pack it for you.

kennym · June 17, 2018, 10:44:15 PM

lol !!

I may be interested in some glass. I've been putting off buying any, waiting for quality issues to 'clear up'. Since I prefer working on wooden bows anyhow, it doesn't take much to dissuade me from buying glass to begin with, throw in a streak or two, and I'm out. But I'm ready to redesign my longbow profile again and I think I have like just two or four pieces of glass left.

Bowjunkie · June 18, 2018, 06:03:24 AM

Hmmm... So, like 27-28 bows in a roll.

Man, a 328' roll of glass. Imagine if that thing got away from ya and sprung open in the shop like a giant itchy spider web

kennym · June 18, 2018, 07:57:59 AM

Yep Jeff, it would be like a big spring coming off that coil. I have a containment plan,if it doesn't work, the shop will be a bad place to be when I cut the last coil fastener!!

Roy from Pa · June 18, 2018, 08:30:36 AM

I'd love to be there ifin it happens..

Carpdaddy · June 18, 2018, 08:53:43 AM

Keep an eye on ole Roy, curiosity may make him cut the bands!

Roy from Pa · June 18, 2018, 09:19:21 AM

Not me..............

LOL

C. Johnson · June 18, 2018, 09:56:56 AM

What widths will you have available? 1 1/2", 1 3/4", and 2"? Just clear, or black as well. Someone was telling me that Bearpaw doesn't manufacture 1 1/2" glass. That doesn't make any sense.

kennym · June 18, 2018, 10:53:34 AM

My first order was 1.5 and 1.75 crystal clear and stabilcore which is all 1 7/8" wide I believe. Probably metric on the stabilcore ?

I sell very very little 2" so probably won't get that for a bit.

monterey · June 18, 2018, 03:07:59 PM

Yup, the stabilcore is 1.88". I only have enough for one bow right now.

Flem · June 19, 2018, 12:30:46 PM

Not familiar with Stabilcore, is it a carbon fabric, prepeg strip?

kennym · June 19, 2018, 12:50:02 PM

Here is what Bearpaw says about it. I haven't used it but will be trying it soon...

Stabil-Kore is a light weight core material which gives bow limbs lateral and torsion rigidity. Stabil-Kore is a proprietary composite that can be used as an alternative to carbon to increase efficiency and add multi-directional attributes, reinforce limbs, increasing cast, and eliminating nearly all lateral twisting for better in-line recovery and more energy down range. Stabil-Kore is sanded on both sides and is used as a core material and can be used with carbon laminations.

Bvas · June 19, 2018, 01:27:30 PM

I'm curious how it's physical weight compares to fiberglass and some of the common core woods.

kennym · June 19, 2018, 01:44:30 PM

More redneck testing may be required!

I just saw this, pops! 328' would make several laps around my shop! Where would you stand to cut? In the middle?

monterey · June 19, 2018, 02:23:51 PM

The stabilcore is very light. Only .016 thick. I have used it in five RD bows and while I can't attest to ALL of bearpaw's claims I'll say that it improves stability considerably. If you are careful with the center line you can narrow the tips quite a bit and still maintain excellent stability.

I haven't used it in an ASL because I don't feel like that style bow will benefit but I'm ready to find out that I'm wrong (again

).
