This base is made from a material called
PaperstoneTM. If you are familiar with Micarta
TM, you will find it very similar. It is dense and tough with a beautiful luster. The material was originally recommended to us by one of our customers in WA near where Paperstone
TM is produced. It's now my favorite; just the right weight, beautiful and easy to clean. It is pre-drilled and ready for the WE100. It ships with rubber, anti-skid, anti-scratch bumpers and washers.
