I made an international call like half hours ago but no luck, jjorly's sales rps said they don't carry any micarta that contain "asbestos", which is usually regarded as one of the key materials in old micarta ferrules, also learned that I am the second person called for yellowsih micarta today.....so who's the first :) ?

so thats you:D

I'll keep you informed if I happen to come across any, and pls also let me know if you bump into some real stuff ;)
 
For those who might care:

The old Micarta that everyone wants was indeed made with
asbestoes paper. That is why you will never see any again.
IIUC - if a biz did have any, they would not sell it today
due to liability considerations.

'Micarta' was the brand name type designation Westinghouse used
for all their renforced plastics, mostly phenolics. The material
cue and knife makers used was actually an epoxy, not a phenolic.

Westinghouse sold off that biz years ago, to International Paper IIRC.

Yes indeed, Epoxy and Asbestoes,
perhaps you could ask them to sprinkle
in a little Plutonium while they're at it.
