[THE GITS]

Hello again spearos!

Lockedin, your point about using grain opposed at 45º is again a good one. If we had chosen a single timber then yes this would be a very good solution that would help disperse stresses evenly. In our gun here we have a very different situation. This has been my attempt at solving the problem of mixing different timbers, by using them in such as way to avoid different rates of movement that would eventually be the cause a step in the join between the woods, or even worse future de-lamination. Timber that has its growth rings running in such a way is also at its most stable which is another of those desirable attributes of a speargun.

I like your signature Lockedin, it is a true statement indeed.

See you all next time spearos!
