Have this Geneva with a questionable pit near the edge that i wanted new scales on without spending too much time. I also wanted to practice my pinning and mess with some different washers.i used the old scales as a pattern so that i could use the old wedge and save some time. the material is a guitar pick guard blank. it measures .095 and comes with a scratch resistant sticker which made is easy to work with. What do you think?

Looks very nice:)
Love that!
Pretty cool idea. It reminds of old laminated celluloid. Looks great! :nj
Where can one find that material for sale?
Nice work! You can also use the samples they give out for laminate kitchen/flooring - depending on getting pieces long enough.
Horn is very easy to work with - can be shaped with abrasive paper quickly and polished up with finer grits. Perhaps worth considering for the next project? :)
i found mine at Grizzly industrial supply Grizzly.com® -- Product Categories the blanks are 19 3/8 x 11 1/4 so you get plenty. i'm still have a lot left even after my instrument project and razor scales. always finding uses for it.Quote:

thanks! i was a bit hesitant to use it for the same reason but i had to give it a try. i'm wandering now how it would have looked with with more of a rounder edge. Guess i've got plenty to experiment with!Quote:
