I'm looking to buy just a small of amount of 1/8 or 1/4" micarta. www.jantzsupply.com locks up my PC whenever I try to access it, and Masecraft has a $50 minimum order. Does anybody have any other suggestions?
Thanks

Try Knife and Gun Finishing Supplies (K&G) they have no minimum order, also Texas Knifemakers Supply.
 
You can look in the yellow pages under plastics. The same shops that sell kydex usually sell micarta. They may even have some scrap they will give you.


 
Sheffield's sells it as bulk phenolic sheet, you specify the base (paper, linen, ect.) Micarta is a trademark of Westinghouse, you pay for the name if you ask for it.
 
Thanks to everyone for the replies. I did get some at a local Plastic dealer. I have a lot left over. about a 19" x 23" of the .250 Canvas phenolic (Brown , Tan in color) if anyone is interested.

By the way, he also threw in some pieces of Delrin. Seems like it might be interesting material.
