Wow! that Westinghouse micarta is some rare stuff.
I heard Butch Richenback say in an interview that he would really like to buy back on of his cause they sounded so good.
I think that is a pretty strong endorsement.

When Westinghouse was making the paper micarta, there was only one guy that knew the formula. He had a stroke and died with that formula in his head. And no one has really been able to duplicate that micarta.

Most of today's "micarta" is not really micarta. The quote below is from the link below.
"The term has been inappropriately used to generically refer to most resin impregnated fiber compounds"


A little more info on the material.

It sucks that two of the best call compounds will never be made again.

Bakelite and micarta
When it come's to duck calling and duck killing its the indian not the arrow!
