Carbon Fiber inlays

I’ve been playing around with a technique I use on fishing poles.
Looks like it might have promise. View attachment 461686

Very nice! What material did you use for the green?

I have a variety of threads that I use for wrapping ferrels on fishing rods. Some of them are glitter. The black is just a strand of carbon tow.

That is awesome! I've been on sabbatical from rocketry for awhile now but I've done some CF hand rolled tubes in the past. This looks like a sleeve from sollar composites. Am I right? Anyway, fantastic work!

Gorgeous!!!! No clue about the strength, but your work is just plain beautiful. I bet its 'strong as ox' as well, but, dang, no question its simply a step (or 12) above anything I've ever seen with my own eyes.

If you did a tutorial thread on getting a finish like that with composites, I would read and enjoy trying to do it myself, even though I'm sure it wouldn't turn out like THAT!!!
