One piece scales on a Geo Wostenholm found locally at an antique store for next to nothing since the original
scales were broken. My first time making scales im happy with the results.

The finishes on the scales and the blade look nice. Could you post some pics showing the wedge end. I would be interested to see how you did that.
Thanks for sharing.
It was done on power miter saw so the cut is a little longer because its slanted.The piece of rosewood was glued to a larger piece
for safety.Attachment 85021
