    Also any Acrylic pen blanks would work for just slicing up for wedges for scales they WILL NOT work you cannot S T R E C H a pen blank into a scale blank they have to be 1x1x6 inch minimum...

    I have been on a rampant search for horn and acrylics as well so far this is what I have found.

    Polyester Pearl

    Knife Making Supplies

    Micarta, G10, Carbon Fiber : US Knife Makers!, Operated by a knifemaker for knifemakers!

    Natural Materials

    Synthetic Material

    Berea Hardwood Acrylic Acetate Pen Blanks

    I haven't been able to find out where Max gets his tortoise shell acrylic yet but someday I will .

    Not all the links sell acrylics but your pretty creative so I thought you might see some potential in some of the materials. Hope this helps.

    Wow, I phoned a sign shop here in Calgary and they quoted my for a 1/4" sheet of frosted acrylic $330. I know I can get it cheaper.
