I did not even know that you could yell on a computer. I do know it is easy to read when you are old like me and have poor eyes. I will have something to report later. Keep your eyes on this thread " As the micarta hits" Saturday nights new drama. Percy

I hope other AZer's did not confuse FAST_N_LOOSE and me going back and forth about this issue as anargument. I am a firm believer that everyone needs to speak what is on their mind. The only way to have good feedback is to get all of the feedback. Their has to be bad also, if not then we are all...

Bama I have ordered the test kit for it. The problem I have now is this. A customer of my knife business was over this afternoon. He is an attorney, we got on this subject because of all the dust in my shop. After me telling him the issue he simply stated." If you get the kit and it test...

Bama there would have been a difference in the rolled and the block. I have never had the rolled and don't know if it was made in the 70's that way. It was orignally made for the electrical industry and then people found it had some asthetic qualities. Then it was sold because of the the look...

Again if you plish the stuff I sold it will show a pattern, so fast-n-loose saying that the old paper base micarta does not have a pattern is wrong. I sold the old yellow paper based micarta. IT has a pattern it was made inthe 70's and up to 82-83. They even make some now but without some of the...

Again as I have said before The picture showed exactly what I was selling from several angles. I did not hide a side, that is what I sold and that is what everyone got. Percy

Marcus why are you the only one that thinks this is not what people want. Everyone that got it but YOU got what they wanted and is happy. I never told anyone this stuff was worth 75.00+ per ferrule. If that was the case I would have been selling it for that. You looked at the picture and you...

Member HDR10 suggest that I offer a refund minus a 5-10% plus minus the shipping. My statement to that is I have cut up over 1500.00 dollars worth of knife handle material to make these. I showed the picture of what I was selling and that is what I shipped. If I had misrepresented my product I...

There were two 2 people that bought it before the pictures were up. They were offered a refund but both refused saying they were ahppy with what they got and thought it was exactly what I said I had. Which is the original old yellow paper base westinghouse micarta. No one else has as except...

feedback Thanks to everyone for the feedback this is what makes AZ so great. Feedback does not have to be good, to be good. It is best to hear both sides of every story and that makes for great feedback. Have a great weekend AZer's Percy

The most important thing to me is not to be able to sell more micarta to cuemakers as I will be happy to use what I have on knives as I have for many years now, but that people realize I sold just what I said I had to start with. The label proves that as will info from people I have sent it to...

The above I received from Mr. Davis who was a salesman for westinghouse in the late 70' and 80's He specialized in the micarta and is an authority on the subject I have sent him a pice to check out but this is what he sent me telling me about the different micarta's and the way they color. I...

Hi Percy ~ Some of the Micartas WH made (recipes) is easy to identify the asbestos (not based on it rather used as a preservative) in other words - it just ages more to the Liking than SOME recipes that dont contain it. The majority of poular WH Yellows in recent years~ Does Not Contain it. The...

I am taking care of the test already and will you know the results when done. I am not selling anymore until then and maybe not then either. I have no doubt what it is and posted a picture of the label. I am sorry for the trouble to the ones that want it now. The ones that have ordered it will...

I have had several of the cuemakers that bought some contact me about this and they all say they feel this is the good stuff. They understand that being cut and turned will make it light color until it ages. There is some on the market that is lemon yellow and doesn't change at all. It is yellow...

It really will not do me any good to send it to Butch as I am a knifemaker also and have probably used more of it than Butch has. All I have came from old knifemakers. Butch is a great guy though. Thanks for the thought. Percy

Bama cues has a good idea I am ordering the kit. I talked to someone that is an authority on this subject. What I have is the original just as the label shows. Back in the 70's the quality control was not what it is today and they weren't making it for color. As it was made in different batches...

By looking at the pictures there is a difference in looks, take into consideration that mine was freshly cut and turned and his was not. If you look at the pictures with the original label from westinghouse it looks the same these are on my early posting. I put the pictures up for every one to...

I will send a piece to Billy Schick. Thanks

So far I have gotten two phone calls and severale-mails since I reposted this. The ones calling and e-mailing have gotten there material except one and he still wants his. They state it is what I said and they were happy with it. I have a Frank Paradise cue that I had the ferrule changed in the...
