Where can a guy by Micarta big enough for bow making.  All I am finding is knife handle size pieces.

I got the resin today, what material should I use paper or fabric? I want to make a piece 18"x1.5"x2" for a longbow riser. Let me know what you would use. Will it be strong enough to use as the riser?
Thx Bill
