A woven fabric comprising glass fibers cushioned from each other by organic fibers in the warp direction, the sinuosity of the glass fibers being less than or equal to the sinuosity of the organic fibers for a given length of woven fabric, and organic fibers in the fill direction has an extremely low degree of stretchability in the warp direction and exhibits high strength under tension in the warp direction. Abrasive belts comprising the woven fabric coated with an adhesive containing abrasive particles exhibit close to zero elongation, have long lives and can be repeatedly used for debarking logs. |
