"Bumble Bee Carbon Fiber Hybrid"

[CaptG]

I gave up on the solid color fiberglass, there was no "pizzaz", just dull color. With some mods to my fixturing I think I finially got the hybrid carbon fiber/colored fiberglass down. I have blanks on the way to my field testers for their opinion. The depth and 3D effect in this blank is even deeper than the all black CF. Excuse the background in the picture, I was in a hurry and just snapped the photo on the work bench. And what looks like a seam on the blank is not. These blanks were made with a seamless tubing. All comments welcome. Thanks for looking.

People will surely do a double take at that pen. Very sharp. I suspect it looks even better than the picture, and the picture looks great!

Thanks for your comments, and Tim, these will go on sale after I get the nod that these are good from my field testers. And yes, there are several colors in the works.

I have an Oakley kevlar wallet that has the exact same colors and weave. I thought that was kevlar when I saw it. I would buy some blanks for sure.

That's real nice Gary. Pita is on the way to destroy Grand Haven, so you'll need something new to keep you busy, lol.

That looks great. I would buy several colors.

I am worried though, are you not doing the black anymore? I had lots of comments and sales and would try to stock up on the black before they were gone. I may even be willing to trade some killer smoked salmon for blanks. Oh wait, you probably don't need smoked salmon.

Hey Gary, how did you do a herringbone that small? I want one(or more).

Ken, I am still doing the black and have them in stock. I will continue to make these. Also Dawn and Exotic Blanks are also selling the black carbon fiber blanks, and when I get the production going on the colors, which should be soon, I am betting Exotic Blanks will handle those as well.

Very nice Gary. The contrasting colors look great.

Sweet pattern! Got me thinking about Charlie Brown's shirt.

Ken, I just had 80 pounds of salmon fillets smoked about 3 weeks ago. I am probably good for another week or two.

[Glenn McCullough]

Gary,
Looking good, let me know when you get the nod! Where do I sign up as a field tester?

Very interesting. Looks like you've "caught the wave."
