Lime Green??
« on: January 05, 2016, 12:10:00 AM »
I had a guy ask me to build him a bow with lime green, black and grey.
Do any of you guys know of any lime green material that I can incorporate into a laminated glass bow?
I'm thinking accents in the riser and maybe tip overlays but I don't know of any thing that's lime green.
Thanks,
Mark

You could make your own 'phenolic' type material by laminating layers of dyed linen or even cotton with smooth on. There was a build along on pirates where a guy did that and made some really classy looking green laminate.

Here's a  picture of a bow with lime green glass. The guy makes his own glass and has done comparison tests with it and Gordon's glass and it equals gordon's. PM me if you want more details.
   
But his bow will remain steady, and his hands will be skillful; because of the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,  (Genesis 49:24 [NETfree])

You can get G-10 in about any color.. Yes, even lime green.. It makes a great riser accent...

I picked up this glass from Binghams several years ago.  They might still have some.  I still have several strips left.
