Green glass!! Hard to come by??

[Brianlocal3]

I have an affinity to green glass bows, and I'm in the market for a new ( or used) longbow. But I really want a grenoble glass bow, and I have looked at alot of websites but I do not see alot of green glass options.  Can anyone tell me why this is?  
     I mean even Bear charges an extra $100 for their Kodiak.  

I have found great northern, (out of my price range), Northern mist (top of my green glass list) and thats it.  I saw on HH archery they had every color but green.  

So will someone with more knowledge than me please explain.
Thank you and God Bles

Northern Mist And Great Norther Had a special run of the Green glass made.You can only get it from them.
I have a Northern Mist Classic That I love.
Both bowyers produce Top quality bows,and the Green glass is retro Cool for sure.

I posted yesterday on another thread   that back in the 80s   Green and Grey glass had the "Reputation " of giving bows faster cast  ( Who knows reality )
   ANY WAY      I have  several bows from that era   made with Green Glass  there were actually two shades  one   VERY dark ( almost looks black  until you get close ) and one   like a brighter "hunter " green    both look great  SHAME   you cant get it regularly from all bowyers now . :-(

There was a northern mist for sale with the green glass that I would have loved to bu, pretty much my specs , if not a touch heavy, Im just working I the funds right now. Hopefully something will ce up when I have the moneY

Herb Meland has some of the old green glass stashed away. I talked him into a bow with it. I love it.

Shedrock, who is Herb Meland? Bow company? How can you tease me so with that pic?  Can you give me some specs since I'll be dreaming about it now!!! LOL
    But seriously , that is the wood and limb glass I have dreamed up in my head except a one piece or two piece.  Is that green dymondwood??

Thank you, so I assume the riser is green impregnated hickory?

[Chromebuck]

Green dymondwood on Shedrocks Pronghorn.  A very dense and stable laminate many bowyers use for risers.  It's density gives almost a recurve feel in weight.  Considered very strong and perhaps a safer choice in riser material.

You can always tell laminates by it's quarter sawed appearance in the site window.  Kind of a herringbone look.

Google dymondwood and you'll be over runneth.  Every color you can imagine including multi colored.

My Herters Intrn'l has green glass too, also not for sale. I love that bow

To get green glass on a bow you are probably going to have to spend a bit of money.  It is limited.
