    This is fabulous!

    I always liked olive wood but never seen such color (only the ML scales, which seem to have less vibrant color) - that's why I thought it's something man-made. I apologize for the mistake

    Joe, I'll be glad to help you out with that.

    Please set two sets of scales worth aside for me while I figure out which blades I want you to put between them. Do you have some blanks large enough to do a 7/8 Friodur?
    Apologies for the hijack!
