[QUOTE="JSHou, post: 1014055, member: 85392"] Carbon fiber gets most of its strength because it is a woven material. To my knowledge, it acts as a framework for the resin. You could dump carbon fibers into a resin stock, which would reinforce it (kind of like rebar, or particle board), but it would not be as resilient. In theory, you could layer it up sheet by sheet, but I don't know what the point would be. You would essentially have a resin stock with a little bit of carbon fiber in it. It would be as heavy or heavier than a synthetic stock and less strong (depending on how you construct it and match your weaves). This is all translated over from bike frame construction, though, so I could be way off base. [/QUOTE]
