I've been playing with wood blanks enough now to be able to distinguish among some similar-looking woods based on how they feel; for example, their density, hardness, etc. But I can't do that with most synthetic blanks, with the possible exception of Tru-Stone. That got me to wondering if anyone else can. That is, can you tell the difference, by feel or appearance, between a blank made of Lucite, one made of acrylic acetate, one made of polyester resin, one made of celluloid, or one made of epoxy resin? If so, what distinguishes them to you?
