    Where do you guys get your acrylic blanks? Some of you, like Max, make some amazingly colorful scales with beautiful patterns. I was wondering where you get your stock?

    Thanks,

    Doug

    I've seen Glen has been working with fountain pen blanks.
    That was very pretty!

    Doug,

    there's many places that sell acrylic or scale material.

    It's always best to at least opt for 6" lenght min. as many for the knife making scales are only 5". 1 1/2" width would also be the min. to look for.
    Thickness is usually 1/8.

    Off course they also sell larger sizes.

    Places that come to mind are

    knifekits
    Texasknife
    jantzsupply
    masecraftsupply
    sheffieldsupply
    eplastic

    or do a Google search for acrylic blanks.

    Use these only if you have the ability to rip them to 3/16-1/8 size

    I don't think Max will ever tell where he gets that fantastic tortoise material. <hint, hint>

    I get my micarta, etc at texasknife.com and masecraft supply.
