    .10 seems thin but, if that's what you recommend Glen, I will go for it.

    I think it might have been .125 or.135 ?????


    and even that seems on the thick side...

    At 1/8 of an inch .125" that is on the outside area of the Vintage scales I have measured,, Depending on material of course the old Ivory is crazy thin, like Bill mentioned down in the .050 realm..
    But that 1/10 inch seems to be the sweet spot for most materials to start flexing

    You are correct Glen, I didn't even notice my typo.
    Smarter than I look or, not as dumb as I look. Whichever you prefer.
