Are you going to make adjustments to the good scale and just make another mate for it?
I'm working on some custom scales as well. I've tried working with spalted/burl, but it was a PAIN! The horn I worked with warped really easily as well. I'm trying to make some scales with G-10 right now.
Keep us updated. Hopefully things will go more smoothly next time.
