What Is Richlite?

The Science returns with this wonderful episode on one of the best-looking pick materials on earth, Richlite.
Watch as I delve into the history, characteristics and glory of this incredible material, celebrating its details and abilities in the pick field.
Big thanks to Surface Matter in London for their historical help, and for taking the time to talk to me.

Amazing video good job

Such a wonderful video! I actually just recently had my first experience with Richlite by making a fingerboard with it. It wasn't easy sawing the thin slots by hand with a Japanese saw, but everything else, the "normal" sawing, sanding and the look of the material, I just love.

You! You're my favourite richlight pick maker.
Genius use of the stock footage as well! 😂

Top notch stuff!
The coolest Richlite thing I've seen recently (apart from picks) is a guitar made by Marc Gutierrez in 2023.

Way to market what is essentially compressed paper and glue to make it sound like some kind of space age alien super matter lol.

It is very cool indeed, well spotted

It's very expensive compared to natural wood and bland 😢
