bakelite has been known to contain asbestos, be careful H
 
What colors did you get? I sent a handful of plastic, interlocking poker
chips (red, white & blue) to a knifemaker several years ago and asked
him if he could use them as spacer material on a knife he was building
for me. He gave it a shot... still holding up well.

Whether or not it's a good deal depends on what you paid for them :)

As far as I know, Bakelite is pretty darn stable so yeah, sounds like a great material for spacers. Let us know if epoxy sticks to it properly.
