Scored some blue (G10?) blocks

[S.Alexander]

I scored some blue fiberglass blocks from a local guy out where I live. They were salvaged from an electrical project. They are pretty massive.

They are definitely fiberglass blocks and have a sort of random woven pattern inside. They look, feel, and smell like G10 but is there any way to determine what grade they are? Based on colour, pattern, or...?

Should I call it garolite, G10, or fiberglass laminate?

Here's a picture of the end grain. It looks pretty neat. I'll have to grind one of the corners on an angle to see what the pattern looks like from a different perspective.

Shane, I like that stuff a lot--let me know if you would part with a chunk--I'm a fan of blue!!

I'll send you a PM.

I'm not sure if I'm going to try a hidden tang first, or cut some scales for a full tang...

Sorry, I didnt mean for this to turn into a sales thread. If I get some more blocks then I will create a sales thread in the proper forum.

Cheers
