Where can a guy by Micarta big enough for bow making. All I am finding is knife handle size pieces.

that one is small for knife handles but just cut longer strips. I havent tried longer stuff but it might work.

That looks pretty easy to do!!! He uses jeans I would guess you could use just about any faberic or any color correct? Anybody know where to get the materials needed such as the resin?
Thx Bill

I got the resin today, what material should I use paper or fabric? I want to make a piece 18"x1.5"x2" for a longbow riser. Let me know what you would use. Will it be strong enough to use as the riser?
Thx Bill
