Ralph Permar and Billy Buice both make em in delrin.

Delrin has a different sound to me than wood in a trumpet it has more of a pop to it and a crisper sound.


This.
Also Charlie Trotter makes an awesome all micarta trumpet.
You have a pic of one? I'd like to see that

Charlie Trotter Micarta trumpet.

No trees were hurt in the sending of this message, however a large number of electrons were highly inconvenienced.

I've done both, they take longer than wood to make but are good sounders.

What's the sound difference between micarta and delrin?

In my personal opinion (and this could be entirely in my head, or could be a result of the individual calls; internals, mouthpiece material, etc.), it depends on the micarta. I've got some heavier fiber micarta calls that seem to play a little duller than delrin but then I've got some black linen micarta calls that carry exactly that same sort of pop and are indistinguishable. If I had to pick a material as I've said a whole, whole lot, I'd take delrin. That said, if it's a micarta call, I want Charlie turning it.
