Are not used as a solid pce.Same with Boat driveshaft bearings,They cut slats about 1X2 in.and rivet them inside a bronze or Monel casing thru which th shaft go's,Friend of mine just sold about two tons of lignum for use at Bonnivile dam in ore.
Is incredible material.
I've only made one set of wood scales so far, but I'm addicted to buckeye burl. The amount of uniqueness and character just isn't there in so many others. Lignam vitae wedge. Enjoy ;)

Has anyone tried stabilized wood? Acrylic applied to wood under pressure is a very stabile plastic/wood mix. Woodcrafters has many types. Theses are normally used for making ink pens but might work for scales.
