Carbon fiber plate?

Recommended Posts

Any reason this wouldn't be useful as a top plate?

They sent me samples, and they are as sturdy as solid CF, but almost half the weight. Moreover, much easier to work with. But looking for a reason they wouldn't work. I've got the samples soaking in water overnight to see what happens (they claim "nothing adverse will happen."
Care to comment?

Hmm... it won't be quite as strong as normal CF but it may be strong enough. The weight savings aren't much but I guess every little bit helps. I guess it would work.

EDIT: If you want to make countersunk (flush) screw holes, they may not be as well supported with the wood core. I'll ask these guys and see what they think.
