Thread: Suggestions for red scale material.

I want something in a bright fire engine type red. Any material will do. I've looked at acrylics and G10 but they seem a little drab, at least how they are represented on line. If anyone has had a hands on look at something that will fit the bill, let me know.

I know Val at the Gentleman's Den is quite fond of Beyond Wood Products - they have some stellar stuff in reds, greens, etc...check it out:

As far as I can tell, that's all resin-wood hybrid and very nice but marbled in color. What I'm looking for is a bright solid red.

I've found that acrylic looks much nicer in person after polishing it up than it does at first instance in sheet form. However, I definitely prefer a more transparent look acrylic to solid / opaque.

Should that ferrari up on the street have a rear bumper?

I have been thinking about similar things, I have this site book marked for further investigation https://www.inventables.com/categori...erials/acrylic and this place too Atlas Billiard Supplies - Sheets I have not dealt with either of these places but they have some interesting products.

I found this but I doubt it is what you are looking for:

Linen - Red Linen 3/16" - MICARTA(tm), Phenolic - Handle Material

I can't think of anything else except the Red Imp scales Wirm mentioned! I know someone on here with some Red Imp scales that have a junk blade! You could always turn them inside out to get rid of the Red Imp etching. He offered them to me because I have a better blade than the one he has but the blade I have has hone wear but it isn't junk like his. I'll tell you who it is if you want. Besides, I have myself a nice Red Imp with very little wear so I'd be more than happy to share this member with you. I also looked at what Jamie showed here:
