Very nice job. I am about to attempt my first try at scales also. I'll see how it goes.
Nice looking scales and don't worry pinning is not that difficult. There is a good how to in the shave wiki here in case you haven't seen it yet.

I'm pretty pleased with your first attempt too! They look great. Nice job.
Those look pretty good!
They look wonderfull,might double stick tape them together before you drill for the pins.
Makes things much easier to drill both blanks as one before they are contoured.
Am certain all will turn out great.
I just pinned my first set and it wasnt as easy as i thought to make it perfect. Also the heavy hardwood scales I made seem to throw off the balance of the razor, wish I would have sanded them down to about 1/16-1/8 thin.
Nice looking scales, out of all the vintage razors i restore, i find the Crown & Sword scales the most brttle and the most difficult to remove without breaking.
