Thread: No it is not Real Bone

A nice Ralf Aust rescale - No it is NOT Real Bone

Scales are Bone Linen Micarta at .095" thick it really came out looking like real Bone.
The Wedge is Copper Bronze Acrylic at .055" at the end.

All Brass hardware including the surprise inside for the 3rd pin..















Thanks for looking

Nice! The third pin is a cool idea.

The original plastic scales on Austs are not so hot.

Super nice!! Awesome!!

That turned out fantastic! I like the scales a lot and great pictures by the way.

That looks great! It could easily pass for ivory or bone, I will have to add that my next scale material order. Where did you get the decorative 3rd pin?

Very nice my friend, Very Nice!

I'm not sure but that 3rd pin support might look 'vaguely' familiar? Maybe for Connor's Friodur? If my suspicions are correct it might answer Ernie's question here;

I don't have an Aust with plastic scales, but I like the Aust African blackwood.

The wood and horn scales are fine. I'm referring to the black plastic with the Solingen inlay on the side.

Wow, that turned out really nice!
