How long did the blanks age? Do you measure them for true/ warpage before shipping?

The blanks have aged 45 days prior to final cuts. They are checked several times for straightness including prior to shipping.

Re: 80% Finished Teak Speargun Blanks Now at Neptonics!
Do y'all sell them with a dovetail cut instead? I'm interested in trying my hand a building one and this looks like a good way to learn, but I would like to use one of your uhmc enclosed tracks.

Interesting when I see this pop up in my feed on Tapatalk. I keep seeing 80% and immediately my mind goes to an AR lower. Finished a few of those in the past.
Are there any custom requests you are able or have already done? Like teak, tiger wood, mahogany, blackwood, etc.? |

If you run that many yes. Build it to accommodate that many. Cut more or a large hole

With a 67" bluewater gun that has an enclosed track, I would want to run 4 bands. |

Re: 80% Finished Teak Speargun Blanks Now at Neptonics!
Great idea! I think if you could totally eliminate the need for a router then this becomes a feasible project for a lot more people ... especially those living in apartments or near fussy neighbours. I would pay more to have the edges finished and have a band hole slot for 2 bands ... and maybe have the tiny recess for the front line anchor. I also didn't see if there was something setup to allow line over shaft setup ... but I guess that is very easy to implement for even the most challenged DIY'er. As a last thought ... maybe have available a loading but pad that fits the back of the stock ... probably not necessary for a small gun in the video but for longer guns would be useful ... then sell all this as one single kit !!!
