Plastic Snakeskin

[Shaughnessy]

Anyone seen anything like this before? Looks like hard plastic with the pattern going all the way through... Hmmm

I haven't seen that specifically, but it looks a bit like some form of damagrip.

I agree that it looks like Damagrip....some sort of damascus pattern Micarta.

That said:
ConneA98 - You need to go to bed earlier and get some sleep. There is no need for lots of posting and advise when you haven't made a knife yet. Get with your dad and make some plans, then post about that.
I have talked with you dad, and he has asked you to cut out the unnecessary posting. Please heed his warning. Talk to him about it again please.

Haha, I actually have a reason. At the point which I posted that, I was in the car. I'm on the way home right now from Aspen, Colorado.

Its a form of plastic. Not micarta. I never found out the name, but I made a couple of knives with it as a handle. It finishes very smooth. But if it gets hot when you finish it will melt. So go slow when you shape it.

VERY cool! Do some up.

I'm pretty sure that is "fantasy marble," a plastic product. I think it is more popular with pen turners than knifemakers but Jantz supply sells it.

I think this is bearing material of some sort.......Heres a pic of the box with the rest of the white and yellow plastic pieces. I threw in a couple pics of the drum set I got too !!
