What material is it?

It's very hard and smooth. I got it from a machinist who manufactures medical equipment.

Hi Alexkuzn

From the photos it looks like Canvas Micarta.

He could probably keep you in scales just from his cutoff pile.

Hey Guys

Phenolic is the material name..............Micarta is a brand Name

It is usually made in layers with paper, cotton (linen) or canvas and epoxy resin. There are a few threads here in the forums of custom made scales by the forumites.
