Your right outside of Philly in Norristown... right?

If you ever want to do a field trip up to ABE let me know :=))

What's your first name?

re: micarta... I will google them shortly and explore....

sunds like you have a fair amount of experience in working with glass.

I have been particularly attracted to the glass (shown in SE's pic) with the chicken wire... want to do some mixed media cases with wood and glass... and justapose the "positions" of each according to wood color, grain, and density and the type of glass and it's color and etc.

the pieces that SE photographed were samples I picked up from a small mom and pop glass company in philly. Many of the pieces are 1/4" thick (which is fine if it was used for the front facia)... but I would like to find some of this same glass but in 1/8" thickness. Do you know of any good urls for larger selection of this type of glass?

thanks again,
