I recently purchased some starrett feeler guage and black peel ply g10, if you have not heard of g10 I recommend doing some searching about it, this stuff is awesome. G10 is a great material material for picks, it's light wieght, very strong, and the peel ply variation is very grippy. The top layer actually peels off to reveal a diamond like pattern, the best thing I can compare it to is petersons plastic pick handles. I hope to keep you guys up to date as I make these picks, I plan on posting pics of each step I take in the process of making them in an attempt to create a tutorial. So far I have roughly cut some g10 blanks and have made a mosaic pin (sorry I made the pin material before I planned on creating a tutorial so I don't have any pics), making the mosaic pin was pretty easy though, I just got a few small copper/brass tubes and a solid piece piece for the middle and epoxied them all together. I'll try to get a pic of the pin stock up by the weekend.
Here's what I'm starting out with, a stack of feeler guage and sheet of g10:

Please let me know if you guys (and girls) can see the picture.
