Thread: Adding Ornamentation to Custom Scales

'Afternoon Gents,

I'm interested in seeing if someone can make a set of custom scales for a razor. Apart from shape and style, I like things that are very unique. So I wanted to ask anyone with experience in making scales if they've tried to ornament them a bit further by adding pieces to them.
For instance, like these comedy/tragedy masks. They're 7/8" high (or 3/4" if the hole at the top is removed) x 1 and 1/4" wide, and are slightly concave (about 1/4" deep). I know that's too big for a set of scales on say, a DePews (which is sad because I think they'd go well with the exaggerated DePews design very well; or another blade with a monkey tang), but might work on scales for a larger blade. I might just forgo the masks and try a cross or something that'd be flatter and easier to manage.
What I wanted to ask though, does anyone have a suggestion or experience with attaching something like this to scales? Drilling small holes (say, through the noses) and pinning them through would mean a wide spacer at the end, at best. Probably wouldn't be practical. And bonding epoxy might not hold, and super-glue could turn out like an adolescent's art project. Thoughts, feedback?
