Homemade micarta

I made my own micarta and took a piece of scrap to see how it looked, this is how it looks.
I can't wait to put this on a knife.

No I used rubber gloves and rubbed it on.
I mean it's not an easy or clean process though.

It looks pretty good to me. What kind of epoxy did you use?

I really don't remember where. I looked into it a whole back and made this piece a couple months ago and finally am getting back around to messing with it.
