This is some beautiful, vintage “ripe banana” micarta.
This stuff is very old according to the older fella I purchased it from (who used some of it as a workbench topper and the rest sitting up against the wall in his barn for years).
He told me he had owned it for many years and before that it sat on a shelf in a warehouse at his former place of work for decades.
It has a darker color on the outside than on the inside.
I have only one more slab of it for sale, once that’s gone, there’s another one. Probably more behind that.
Here are some pics of what it looks like on a magnificent razor created by Matthew Gregory
It looks a little brighter before finishing.
Slabs are 1/4”
3”x5” $50
9”x5” $135
9”x10” $235
+ $10 shipping
as it ages, it will take on a really nice chocolate color.
Will also take payment in DHIII W2, Nathan Carother’s disc sanders, and wood from Noah’s ark.
I may trade some of it for other handle material too.
*this micarta is neither super, amazing, or any other ridiculous adjectives. It’s old, smelly, and flat. Like your mom. Feel free to buy it, don’t buy it, or just make fun of it or the seller, I Don’t Care.
