What's the strength to weight ratio compared to fiberglass?

Sorry sloppy with my terms above. Approx 50% higher specific strength than E-Glass

Two things. 1: What are you using for base material?
2: probably should go fix this on your site. " fatigued lags"

1. Depends. We have done 100% basalt using basalt triax (video show uni layer)
2. thanks - my site sucks. Hoping to get someone that has time to dedicate to it soon. I spend little time on it. I'll go chase down that typo though

Again no. 1: Base material? DuraSurf? Isosport? Sintered? Extruded? Hardness grade? You should put that info on the site.
Other than that, I like what I am seeing. Bring some to Mt Bachelor and I will test them!

And a trip to Bachelor is a possibility. I get my bamboo from a supplier in Oregon. Maybe time for a road trip

Sweet. DuraSurf 4001 seems to be more often than not for small US folks.
Good stuff. I skied some Ramp bamboo a few years back and liked them.
Unfortunately they did not make it in the end. I like that you seem to be focusing on quality before quantity of types first. Best to you!
