well after digging out another rack i figured id give the antler scales another shot ... i have enough left to play with and i think ill try to make another set that is 2 piece with a wedge after i get another belt for my sander so that i can work down the slabs i plan on cutting .. anyway !!

so this point came off of a buck i sjot about 15years ago ( can still go to the exact spot and remember it like it was yesturday ) m it had been in the attic and with a nicer buck on the wall it was just collecting dust ..

just as my practice one from the other day i cut it down the middle ( or as close as i could) then used a cutting wheel to even things out (or try to ) .... the original blade i cut this for was a Packwood but the grind just didnt feel right to balance out the antler so i remembered i had a 6/8 full wedge W&B laying around so i tossed in there and it made a world of difference as far as balance and appearence !! not a proffesional job on the scales but they meet there purpose and the ruff look matches the small pits on this wedge !!!
