Update here. A week or so after the above post I settled on a unique set of scale material I found on eBay ( Premium Acrylic Stabilized Double Dyed Maple Burl ). Scott is making a 13/16" Hydra for me, and double pinning the toe side of the scales so the pinning doesn't look so funky.

Hopefully I'll have it in early March and I am looking forward to adding this to the collection. Nice price point for an American built razor.
