What does paper butter scotch micarta look like?

[blgoode]

I have a customer that wants micarta but a light look. We may have to go with antique yellow. What about natural?
Anyone know who carries something like this?
Thanks.

The butterscotch type in your title comes out like very old Ivory.

You have to finish it nicely. None of that sandblast, or 60 grit finish on this. Go to 600 grit, and polish, to bring out the nice warm color. I personally like it.


Natural, or tan comes to you looking dark red/brown on the factory surface, but when you work it, it will be much lighter. I don't really care for this color(looks like shi'ite), although I've done many knives in it. Good for those desert op's, I suppose.

How about a tan/white mix?
Don't know about availability in the US though.

This is the material I use to make patterns with, Brian. I never used it for handles, though. Shoot me an email with sizes and all that. I send you some.
