I just made my first set of homemade micarta scales, but they didn't polish up as nicely as yours did.. can you tell me what you used to polish your handle...

I use the same process as other synthetics. Work up through the grits to 2500+, etc. The trick is making sure it is dead smooth between grits. No high or low spots...

I would say your waves were due to excess resin on the material... The look is unique none the less. Btw, you can form micarta around the tang if you wish and avoid having to do any inletting...
Looks like a nice piece...

Cheers!
