    Linen micarta is made by pressing multiple layers of linen soaked in resin together. Let it cure, and you have a hard material that can be shaped however you like. Ditto with paper micarta.

    Micarta and phonelic are the same thing.

    Some guys make their own out of all kinds of things, even old blue jeans. lay it up with epoxy, and press or clamp it flat till it cures. Cheaper than buying it if you have the time and materials.
