I saw a tutorial online about making denim Micarta. Basically, wet strips of different shade denim with fiberglass resin, sandwitch in wax paper, clamp between two boards, let dry.

That gave me an idea. Buy one of those multicolored construction paper books that kids use for grade school projects. Leaving the binding intact, cut a 1.5" strip of the entire book. Separate the strip at the desired thickness. Wet each page with fiberglass resin, wrap in wax paper & clamp, just like with the denim Micarta.

What this should give you is a slab of laminated paper Micarta. As you sand it to different depths, different colors will show through. If you make scales that are smoothly radiused, this should produce a pleasing tie dye effect, much like Vernon Reid's guitar. (The effect was produced by painting the guitar in different colored layers, then sanding to different depths).

Worth trying? Anyone else ever try anything similar?
