Micarta is an amazing material. I looked it up and suprised it was developed in 1910. It can contain, linenm canvasm paper, fiberglass, carbon fiber, or other fabric in a thermosetting plastic. (that's a mouth full). I have had knives with micarta handles and are wonderful. While I love ebony, it's price and the fact it is endangered and controled speices have prevented me from going to ebony. Thank you both for the great explaination and choosing what might work for us. I still like the traditional look of fret board matching the body. 🙂
