I'm working on some scales and I am REALLY close to completion. If I could get just one set of scales done right and fit the wedge that would save me +$80, so I really don't won't to screw them up!!!





The G-10 is coming along. This is what I had in mind.

I was planning on using the drilled scale as a guide to drill the other one.
Then I was going to file/sand the edges so they were flush/square.
I'm filing the scales at a shallow angle because I want to make the whole width of the scale to be slightly rounded like the originals.
After I get all the shaping and sanding done I was going to polish them with micro mesh pads.
Any suggestions?




I had some help shaping the wood scales. I mixed adaline dye to color them and finished them with CA glue.
Problem: The inside of the scales are slightly convexed so there is a small gap when you put the two scales together.
Should I try to concave the wedge or try to flatten the inside of the scales and refinish them?

Thanks!
