How To Make Damascus Micarta Sunglasses!

Micarta /mai-kar-tə/ - noun: A brand name for composites of linen, canvas, paper, fiberglass, carbon fiber or other fabric in a thermosetting plastic. Damascus /dəˈmæskəs/ - noun: The forged steel of the blades of swords smithed in the Near East from ingots of Wootz steel. These two iconic and unique materials are both examples of composites, whether it be textiles casted under pressure with a thermoset plastic, or a blend of forge-welded steels. We wanted to create something unique and maybe even a whole new process combining these two materials, then machine some cool sunglasses with it.
