Online Micarta Suppliers?

[adrock1978]

I'm trying to find the perfect handle material for a restoration of an old WWII True Temper machete. I'm thinking micarta will be my material, but I haven't found the perfect piece. The problem is A, the right color and B, the right thickness. Most sites only carry slabs up to 3/8" but the existing scales are almost 1/2" each. Can anyone recommend a site with a good selection of micarta?

So far I know of:

Masecraft
Texas Knifemakers Supply

Texas Knife also has something called Barbwire Micarta in 1/2" slabs. It looks real interesting. Sheffield was decent, but a PITA to navigator their PDF catalog. Thanks though guys. Any others?
