    Default Domestic hardwood scales?

    Does anyone have a razor with scales made of a domestic (US) hardwood such as red oak. I have some red oak hardwood flooring that i had to repair at my house and it is about the perfect thickness to cut blanks out of. I just want to know how they wouldlook on a razor. Thanks for any pics or info.
