And here for relativity of thickness.

Here's a couple new standard looking scales I'm creating. Maple wood. I'm un happy with how solid blochy the blue is on one of them so I'll try to thin it out a bit before putting the finish coat on...

Do you guys mean it would only work or would work better if the tang and spine were straight.

They were to be of this style.

I've made normal rounded scales man. Just plain ones no bolstering, or inserts and what not, and besides the correct wedge angle, I don't find them that difficult... to make them beautiful pieces of...

For real, Are they that terrible?

Nice I like those, and I know they're still way too thick, gotta bring them down some more, and deff that name plate. Have to figure out and throw in some detail in the bolsters still as well. Could...

Here for reference to a Dovo. Granted dovos do have a bit thicker of a scale. But I need a bit of meat to have depth to engrave into. And am still feeling out wood a bit still for durability. The...

An update on butsys scales. Figured I should put a couple more hours in on them.

The antler mini scales are a work in progress for our very own Butzy. Still need to round it all off, put divits all over the lower area like a golf ball, and figure something out for the faux...

That clean up looks good Gasman, and I love your picture frame display, I have plans for something's like that in the near future. It all looks good, good job man.

Those are some fine looking scales there sir. I like them a lot.

Thank you very much gents. And I thought this as well. The only thing that made me think differently is the only scale I have un pinned right now, the one with the inlay I was trying to find a match...

And I love the idea of being able to sand them at the same time to keep them easily even. Excellent idea sir. Thank you for that knowledge.

Haha thank you, I'm glad you said this before I started sanding them out bowed and by hand in side. May have just saved me some heart ache man.

Ahhh I know what you mean, the insides should infact not be straight, but bowed eh? And uniform from either end, as well as both scales batch each others bow. Is this what you mean? Would a straight...

No there's absolutely no flex to them yet, I'm thinking they'll be pretty darn thin for that. But we'll see. I'm goona shave it down some more on the belt sander. And yea they're fairly straight and...

Wildman1 I am uncertain who or what you are speaking of.

And I'm uncertain of the wedge, I would love to make one out of pearl would set it all off properly, but unfortunately lack the material...

I know they are relatively thick, but I think I'm going to leave them where they are. Could work them down from the inside a bit thinner, but I wanted to try to keep the thickness of the pearl and...

Some scales that I'm working on. Unfortunately I do not get to keep these ones, they are for a friend who had given me the material (a moose antler). Moose antler and real MOP.

Still needs a bit...

I'd be sanding/ grinding that down nice and flat first, than throw a new edge on.

Here's another one I worked on today. A J.Busch. Not overly happy with the outcome yet tho. Still a fair amount of surface scratches from the sanding. Work some more on it when I de-pin it and dye...

Here's a beautiful Remeso I spent a few hours cleaning up today. A wonderful gift of many from the kind soul Butzy. The point had a decent size chip that I ground out creating the new point you see...

Here's a little bathroom set up I just made. Gotta figure out how to mount the front door tho. I didn't take into the edge overlapping on the door. So if I mount it tightly closed, it will not open...
