    Default First time making new scales

    I decided to try my luck with carbon fiber for my 1st set of scales. I had an old torrey with broken scales. Wedge is made from a piece of red abs I had laying around. Not happy with the pin job though the razor centers and is pretty snug. Next is more polishing then to the stones. Thanks for looking.

    Just some advice, if you cut g10 keep extra blades handy, one set and the blade is shot; found that out by going through two blades making three wedges.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    Those look very sweet. I'm curious to know how she handles with the scales having to be so much lighter.
    I'm a sucker for a stamped tail. Giggity.
