It looks like candy.
I was at Lee Valley and I saw these:
Acrylic Acetate Pen Blanks - Lee Valley Tools
Acrylic Acetate pen blanks and I was wondering whether they could be turned into scales.
I think they might be just a wee bit too small, but I wouldn't know. They'd make some nifty scales though if well cut and polished.

Nice craftsmanship Glen, as always.
I don't care for the color; but variety, she's the spice of life, eh?

You need 6 inch long blanks at the least

You have to cut thicker blanks (3/16) then you would for actual wood then thin them up from the backside as the last step...
I would not recommend all this unless you have two things in yer shop
1. A table saw with a very thin kerf rip blade, and a reverse side rip fence...
2. a belt sander, preferably 4x36
without these two tools, doing these acrylic scales is a ton of hard work...Chevhead likes this.
