Hi Folks,

I am in need of some Koa Purflings.
Preferably with a .010 black fiber strip on each side, so it would be b/koa/b but I could work with out it.

Anyone out there got this? If so what thickness?

Thanks!

How thick are the purfs, will they be wide enough to tell they are Koa?

preferably around 028”, so I suspect you'll be able to tell?

Lance, I have some Koa purfs, I think they are .024 but I am not near them right now to tell. I black fibre lines also. Just need to see if I have .010. I know that I do have .020.

I will in a while and let you know.

Shane

Lance,

The Koa is indeed .024. The only black fibre I have right now are .030 in the purf dimensions and then I have .020 double length purfs by .250 wide so you would have to trim them with a knife but you could get double lenght purfs three per strip. I do have some EIR purfs that are a dark purple. They are about .022.

If any of this helps you can just PM me with your wishes.

Thanks lance

Shane

Hey Lance, I used Shane's purflings in my rosette. I used the .02 black
double length and the koa.
