I Have the hood of a car that was made completely from Carbon Fiber. It was like 800 bucks. My son bought it for his car but he can't use it as DOUCHE PS (UPS) damaged it shipping it to him. However only the tip/nose and another corner is cracked. Can the rest of this thing be used for making scales for knives?

I would be willing to cut this thing up and ship it to someone just so they would make me some handles fo some knives. Is there any interest out there?

Is so what would I cut it with to make it smaller and easier to ship?

What sizes would be best?


** Mods: if this is in the wrong place, please move it to where there would be the most interest.

Well, that's an interesting question. How thick is the material? I would presume a car hood would be pretty thin so it might require laminating to make a thick enough piece for scales?

I'm looking forward to responses.
 
Usually CF car hoods, bicycle frames, wheels, etc are carbon fiber over a foam core. If so, the CF layers might not be thick enough for scales. You probably won't know until you slice it.
Is the damage too great to be repaired? there's probably something you can do if it's just cracked/crazed.
 
No its no repairable. I think it is one layer, no foam between layers that I can tell. I will look at it in the am, and check back.

Sorry for putting it in the general topic area. It seemed like a pretty general question at the time!
