    Dude, 1/8 " sounds like more than a bit of rot.
    Hope it comes out a winner for you.

    Nice project Sandcounty.
    I'd try to save those scales tho the wedge end looks damaged.

    To restore or not to restore... That is the question.

    Unfortunately the scales are toast. Large areas of bug bites on both. About an 1/8 of the back scale was gone. I think I may have saved them for a pattern, but not sure.

    Well, bug bites can be filled but if bits are missing that can be a problem
