Thanks and God bless, Steve

Rosewood is a longtime archery business.  I'm surprised you have never heard of them.

OOOOPS,  I was thinking of Rose City Archery.  A whole different outfit!  

Apparently they are not a sponsor here.  Here is their site   http://www.rosewoodarchery.com/   I do prefer doing business with sponsors.

I bought 16 pieces of the new Gordons glass last week..I finished a bow this evening with it..I looked at it in the shop and in my house under lights, I also used a bright flashlight. It looks clear with no streaks. I'll look it over tomorrow in the sunlight.

          I sure hope Gordon's has this issue resolved. Any word if there is more of this new clear available?

As of  yet, the issue is not resolved. As it has been explained to me, they are experiencing roughly a 90% failure rate on the clear.

WOW!! 90%??? That is unreal... Wonder what happened? Used to never hear about this kind of failure. I need a couple pieces of 1-3/4" clear and want buy anything until something changes.

I finished this bow up last night, glass is free of any streaking.I used a camera phone to take the pics. Back in feb I got some ULS from Utah that had some odd "clear" lines in it..not the whitish streaks but tiny lines from limb butt to tip..

Robert, the last clear ULS I got from them had some of those lines in it.  Not full length though.

Try out Belcher from Old Mastercrafters in Michigan.  He states he alot of good glass and will be taking over the Old Mastercrafter business.  I use Mike as well but seems his glass goes quickly.

I'm expecting a load of glass in next week      however my distributor hasn't received it yet. He checks it before sending, but even at that, there are things that don't show up until glue up.  
Even though they weren't perfect, I have never seen some of the horrible glass that have shown up in pictures here.
Honestly would be happy to get any "good" glass at this point but as long as we are wishing, I'm going to wish big.
Contrary to popular belief, if Gordons were capable of producing all perfectly clear glass, they would and I would happily pay more.

Then I will start bothering you with emails again Big Guy! Haven't used the black and brown yet from Ky Tradfest but got one close to glue up. I'll skip the other for now if you get the clear!
