First fitting with the cocobolo scales and ebony wedge. Doing a ren wax finish over the next few days. Still a bit of meat to take off the wedge but it is close.

Its coming along very well - anxious to see the finished work!
I was asked how thick I make my scales. For the cocobola I started with a peice that is 3 foot by 3" x 4". I milled off a pice that is 3' x 3/32". Cut that down to 6" by 1.5" x 3/32". After sanding and shaping each scale is now just about 2/32" at the thickest point and has a tapper down to a sharp edge.
