I resawed cocobolo, purpleheart, yellowheart and kingwood for scale blanks and got a better yield than I originally estimated so I lowered the prices at the begining of this thread by $2 to reflect...

For the curious, I am posting the yellowheart scales here to show off what this wood looks like when it is finished. You'll have to pick your stock for the perlescence though, not all pieces or even...
