Duck soup
Tried a new, to me, scale material. Kirinite. Very nice to work with. I replaced the paper micarta scales on a Dubl Duck Special No. 1. A sacrilegious non-traditional result. I saved the paper micarta scales if I need to make a retreat.

Thank you. I had read that it is sensitive to heat from too much pressure on the buffer, so I took it slow and easy. I had no problem with it on the belt sander, scroll saw, or buffer. I will definitely use this material again in the future.

No retreat, No surrender. It's your Duck now :<0) Looks good. I have a piece of Kirinite and haven't used it because it got soft and supple in the shop on a hot day. It kind of melted over as it was not sitting flat. I heated it back up and flattened it out but never used it for that reason. It never gets that hot in my house so I should give it a shot sometime.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Hey guys I am curious where you get this material? Also how hard is it to work with. I want to try my hand at making scales an I really like this look. I don't have the typical work shop like some here. But I think with the right material I can do this with just some hand tools. Thanks
