I found that but need a large block. 1.5 x 6 x 10 roughly. I have two large Bowie’s with hidden gangs to make.
Thanks
Steve

Steve,

This is not paper Micarta but comes in good size blocks and the price isn't horrible. It is a resin product. I just ordered a handful of blocks and shipping is cheap and pretty quick. The guy is a good dude too. His name is David Warther. Ask him about custom sizes. And keep it a secret.

(up to 1 1/8 x 5 x 10" slab) or blocks .. with the slab you can use the 1 1/8" dimension for the handle thickness and cut the handle height/profile to whatever size you need.

(linen in 1.5" x 1.75" x 5 5/8" although a bit pricey.



Does it have to be paper micarta, or even micarta? Or would white and/or ivory G10 work? Alpha knife supply has the g10 blocks


hope these links aren't against the rules

Check out "elforyn block"
It comes in plian white, plain ivory or figured.

Thanks everyone.
I tried the Elforyn before and it is not quite what I am looking for.
I will talk to the guitar parts guy and see what he has.
if that fails I may have to go with the ebay link
Thanks Again
Steve

Make sue you talk to David. He has A LOT of experience with this material and will be able to tell you exactly what to expect from it. He also comes from a knifemaking family. Take a look through some of his carvings here:
