Has anyone used micarta to build a reel seat? Building out a white fiberglass blank and was looking for something like a white micarta / ivory looking reel seat. Haven't been able to find anything thru a web search on the subject that's been informative.

I guess I could also use a blond type of wood but....

Thanks

BH just came out with these in the last few weeks but the raw color might work for you:

Why not a Lemke LC1 in the nickel plated with a white acrylic insert?

Vlad/musicar has made and used micarta for spacers. You may want to check his blog.

I have a few seats with light maple inserts that might work.

If that insert was solid it would look like a piece of post-ban ivory.

Shoot now I'm talking myself into one.
