Thread: Scale/wedge dilemma

I'm working on putting new (white) bone scales on my Wade & Butcher Bow, and facing the dilemma of what to do with the wedge. I really like the look of brass on either side of a black wedge, but also really like the thought of a blue or dark red... Or just a plain black wedge... Any pics of something along these lines for ideas?

For some reason I'm really loving this all around combo with the flat scale edges, but my OCD is eating at me wondering what it'd look like with brass in there as well

It'd look something like this, I presume.



Its .016 thick, on each side

Great, thanks for the visual!

I was having the same wedge dilema!Lol! For me it was brass, lined, or some swirled blood red/dark red bakalite. It was for a W&B Special I saved by taking a 1/8" off the toe and 1/16 off the edge. She still 6/8 so I thought I would be good for my first rescale. I made the scales with camel bone and brass hardware so in the end I went with a brass wedge too. I think It came out cool!
