Thread: Scales in horn

One of the brush turners over here sent me some pieces of antler that are too small for brushes but look OK for scales.


My problem is I've only ever used flat plates for scale making so I'm looking for advice on how to go about this. Ideally I'd like to retain the outside 'bark' just rubbing down a little to get some highlights, but I don't have any ideas as to how to get the insides a uniform flatness once I divide them.

Any tips will be gratefully received.
