I tried something a little different today. Burlap and canvas with fiberglass resin, stonewashed blade. I think it turned out pretty cool.

I like the end results a lot... Was this your idea?

terdl76 · Post by **terdl76** » Mon Sep 23, 2013 8:59 am

Yes/No, I've seen a bunch of videos on YouTube in how to make homemade micarta. Seems like you can use just about any material and fiberglass resin in a vise.

I have been intrigued with being able to make your own micarta, and have seen a few videos of the process.

Yours looks awesome!

Great job!!

I really like it!

What has my attention is the lanyard hole!! Nice touch.

What size is it and how did you make it?

(PS Where can ya find CLEAR resin? I would like to try and make some material myself.)

The burlap, once resin is added, it gives a very nice depth.

Yeah. Knice!

I actually got the resin from Home Depot. It's not really clear, kinda amber in color. As far as the lanyard I believe it's a 5/32 bit. Drill the holes out on the butt end of the liners only and then use a small round file to open up the squared off opening of the backspring to fit.

Just couldn't leave well enough alone. Tried my hand at puting in a shield and added a lanyard.

WoW! Even better than before!!

NICE job on the shield.
Did you make it from NS? How hard was it ti inlay in the burlap & resin?

O.K. What's next???
