Dymondwood vs spectraply
« on: March 05, 2020, 10:57:21 PM »
So it seems as if Dymondwood was almost the gold standard for strikers but since their factory fir a few years ago I can’t seem to find a source. So how does spectraply stack up as a substitute for strikers?

I hadn’t ever heard of either of those, but I like the look of their stuff on their websites. Thanks a bunch

No....totally different process.

Each laminate conpany as their own "ingredients" and process for laminating.

Also the density of the product has everyrhing to do with the sound youre getting from it.

There are 2 types of Frogwwod.....the regular Frogwood and they have Frogwood RDH5.....the RDH5 is their high density version.

The good thing about Frogwood is that it is all made in the USA

X2...I have a few pieces of spectraply that I attempted a duck call barrel from. Used 1/4-1/2 bottle of CA on the finish. It just kept soaking it in. It’s very soft/porous material.

Weigh a blank of frogwood and rutland, quite the difference. I'll take a rutland dymondwood all day long. Dymalux don't make a bad striker though.
