I was looking at my piece of walnut and saw a nice grand line that would look great at an angle.. Definitley gonna do that!!!

Planning on working on them next weekend. Schools out on Monday due to Labor Day!!! :D

Gonna use my dark walnut wood!

Hmmmm.. That is a lot more convincing.... I may just get a coping saw. Or see if any of my neighbors have one. That does not look good. Especially because this wood is going be be relatively thin.....

Good ideas..... So I can still use a jigsaw, but just drill more pilot holes?

Trust me, If I had a band saw I would use it! but, I dont have one! A jigsaw will work fine if I cut about 1/4 of an inch away from my outline!

I like the sound of that!

And as far as I'm aware, a CA finish will make it just as waterproof correct?

But, I'll do everything except final polishing while they are attached!

That's what I am planning on doing. I will just cut far enough that blade warp won't affect it, then take it to the low grit disc sander!

OK guys thanks for all of the great information! I'm not gonna worry about stablizing the wood, as I feel there will be 2 pairs or scales after these within the next 4 months. Jamie, those scales are...

Go for it! I may try KOA wood sometime

Last thing from! Some are just better at other things than others! You seem to be a really good stropper from what I can tell!

Thank you maple! When you put it like that, you make me seem like legendary of something:rofl2:

I may get bored tomorrow and cut out a basic shape... if I can unpin my razor!

No no maple, I was just playing around! Yes they did help! I would never attempt those alone!

Dont worry about it!

Hey, I have a homemade bookshelf, bed, desk, and computer!

Of Course! I have always been a do it yourself guy when it comes to these type of things. Ill try my best!!!

Oh OK. The coping saw is only like 5 bucks so I'll do that. And yeah I saw spazolas video. Really informative!

Oh OK that sounds good guys! Question, will a jig saw work for cutting them out?

Darn it. Now I am gonna have to go to home depot and blow 40$........

I got a razor that had custom wood scales, and I love it! That's why I want it! Plain and simple. Besides, I don't like these scales anyway...

That's a good idea! And some CA glue would give a awesome finish!!! How do I apply it evenly though?

I just think that for the cost wood scales look the best:D

I know it is not the best, but in my situation it is the cheapest and looks the best for the price.

I currently have a block of the wood. I do have a disc sander, which will work for flatening. I also have a disc grinder, drill press, which will also be nice. Thanks for the advice!

I will take a...

Hey guys. So, just a preface, I have been reading the scale making section of the wiki so I've done some research. I want to make a pair of Walnut scales for my Geneva 5/8 hollow razor. The wood is...
