Can anyone source green glass?
« on: December 08, 2015, 08:18:00 PM »
Looking for the OD green glass.  Something a bit more subdued than the Northern Mist and Great Northern green.

Thanks,

The only place I have seen green glass available for purchase was Old Master Crafters. You might also want to check with Big Jim's.

Chad Holm just built me a longbow with green glass. Very much like what Bear uses.

Talk to Brian McBroom,  http://www.mcbroombows.com.
He uses an OD green, maybe will reveal his source.

Thanks all!  Sounds like the green glass market has yielded production once again.  Not long ago I recall speak of only one manufacturer.

Happy holidays!

There is still only one manufacturer as always. All glass of all colors including clear is all coming from Gordons.

There is only one manufacture making the green glass as far as i know... It's Gordon Glass.  What you are seeing here is different distributors.
