Thread: So I'm going to start making scale kits, what EXACTLY do you want in a kit?

I would just like some simple woods, elegant, and fine grained - I second the oak, I would like to see black walnut, maybe pecan. Maybe even some cherry or mesquite, cocobolo would be very interesting too - then my 1911 would have the same grips as my razor - Ok, that might be silly, but it is a thought.

Has anyone ever thought of Meerschaum slabs for scales? We have had a lot of talk about pipes in the general forums, why couldn't Meerschaum be used to make, carve, decorate scales? Just curious. How about soap stone? Thin enough, seems it would work well and be rather industrial for those large meat cleavers? Faux marble Corian?

Just thinking out loud here..
