I just ordered a sheet of Micarta and a sheet of G10 thinking someday I might try to make some scales from them. How are these materials to work with? Do they cut, sand and polish similar to wood? Any special precautions or concerns? I am hoping that my scroll saw will suffice. The Micarta is a Burgundy Linen and the G10 is a Red/Black. I can envision some uniquely pretty scales from both.
