    Sounds like a product I've used in the past called "NovaPly", heavy, very dense and IMO was tough on my blades,bits, etc. We used it for countertops and I built a work bench from some "Shop Notes" plans with it. (4) 3/4" layers is heavy, took me and friend to carry just the top down the basement.

    My first guess was that it is some type of phenolic composite material. There are about 1,456,237 types of phenolic composite (that's just an estimate), of which Micarta is a trademark name for a category of phenolic products...

    Like I said earlier, I found it it is Medex. Would like to find a source for it.

    Medex is a phenolic composite material using wood cellular material in a matrix of formaldahyde phenolic plastic. It is formed under heat and pressure similar to HDF, but it cures much harder.
