Am I looking at things wrong? Looks like the C6O2 blanks are the same weight or heavier than the same power HM blanks.

Nice work, Aleks. CCS data!

And, in my opinion, the subjective action descriptors agree with the CCS numbers. I think calling ERN's in the range of 13 Medium power needs some discussion. I'm really pleased! I hope other builders will chime in to express their pleasure with having objective measures for new blanks.

Kerry,

Sort of, it is a finish very similar to the x-ray blanks.

Best,
Aleks

I have finished wrapping my 9' 9" model. the fine ridges didn't cause any problems and favorite color I chose I think looks good. waiting for the CP work to be done before finishing. Wish I didn't have to lay down an epoxy patch to add some decals. The Buckeye burl that I stabilized and turned for the grip insert looks good. Looking forward to the time this summer that I can take it to the Cowlitz to try it out.
