At times, desert tan and brown are hard to come by,so youve got a good source.

Paxolin is a glass laminate phenolic, pretty much the same thing as Micarta. Just a brand name.
This brand was usually used way back, early electronics boards, like in amplifiers etc.
One of the weirder uses was - it was big in Australia for making boomerangs,lol.
Rule of thumb...
I never really go high shine with most of what I make, just because theyre mostly made to abuse and shiny would be silly--- but I have several pals who make art quality blades, and they all swear by Norax.
Myself, I have to agree with the Blaze orange belts for holding up great and cutting...

The blue set was a one time run ,so the one Rock has is a hard to find item,
If you want something other than the blue you can contact Alex directly on his forum and talk over what you'd like to get.
Look under the makers forums for ARS :)
Good deal Mr C, will surely contact you.
Was thinking " Swamp-Dogs Chapter", with of course the Louisiana yard dawg as mascot,\ That would be a gator for the yanks among us:) \
