Hello guys, and thank you for your help. I have a wade butcher that I love and want to rescale. But do not want and right now cannot spend a fortune. Can you recommend anyone?

My recommendation is that if you want to save money then you could always attempt to do it yourself. If that's not an option then I would suggest saving up for someone to do it properly...cheap is not usually better and such work will show. I don't know of any pre fab micarta scales out on the market.
I would love to do it myself as I have found material and it's cheap... But have no knowledge of how. Near as I can tell pins, spacers, polishing, etc are involved. I have none and wouldn't begin to know sizes or where to start.
Thanks - Rod
If you go to the Library section on here thee is a whole bunch you can learn....Quote:

The first thing to consider is how good you are working with your hands. Only you can answer that, but if you think it's within the scope of your skill, then go for it.
Wow, thank you all for the valuable insight... Yes, I am actually good with my hands, just really had no working knowledge of razors. Rod
Micarta is actually a real pleasure to work with and it's tough as nails. I prefer canvas for texture, but they're all good:)
