1/2" thick Micarta

[Dovetailer]

Hi folks, I'm new around these here parts so firstly a hello to all.

I wonder if anybody could recommend a source for half inch thick Micarta that would be prepared to post to me over here in France. I would be looking ideally for a slab 5 1/2" x 10 in green or black or both

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

You can try this guy. Call and see if he will post to France. Here is some G10 in 1/2" olive green. Not Micarta but if you call him he may have what you're looking for.

Try asking on British Blades also, they are much closer to you

Thank you for the replies,

3/8" or 10mm is all I can track down in the uk via British blades etc but canmanstan certainly looks good for a call

Check European industrial suppliers for Garolite or Phenolic Sheet. That is what Micarta is called industrially. You probably can find lots of it on ebay, too.
Here is one example;
