Been working on my two most current resto's today. Finally tried some of my spalted tamarind in my surface planer and got it down to about 1/16", perfect for scales. I drew a few templates and finally decided on a square point style. Got them all shaped out and the ends glued together and wedges placed. As an afterthought do to a suggestion I decided to throw them in a makeshift stabilization vacuum tank with some minwax wood hardener. Here are some photos with the blades just held in place with some small screws.






They will dry a couple of days and then get sanded all the way up to 12,000 grit and then likely a CA finish for a nice high gloss shine and finally pinned. I am going to use brass rod with a chrome larger than normal chrome washer.
