Does anyone have a good source for this? Texas Knife is out of stock and nobody else seems to carry it. Masecraft has it in bone but that appears to be too dark.
 
My experience with white LINEN Micarta is that it is too porous and does not finish properly-leaving too many dark spots of polishing compound.
White paper Micarta does not have this problem.

Listen to this. I scraped a few sets. I had specks all over them from the buuffing compound.
 
I understand that it is hard to work with. What about coating with CA and only using sandpaper to polish it. I would use canvas but the pattern is just too course to match customers needs and paper form doesn't match his needs either.
 
I concur that the white is very problematic. There is no simple way to keep it from staining when finishing.
