    Default Wedge dimension?

    So I'm taking a crack at my first set of custom scales for a Boker "big Chief" with a piece of 1/8" thick walnut.
    To play it safe on my maiden voyage,I simply traced the shape of the un-cracked side of the scales that came off.
    Now I could try to reuse the old wedge (metal) but thought it might look nicer with a custom wedge.
    Here's my dilemma,I'm not too sure what exactly the wedge shape is for or how to figure the correct angle,thickness,material.

    Here is a complete tutorial by Charlie Lewis which includes measuring for the wedge at the end

    Read through the sticky at the top of the forum page. Welcome to the Workshop: How do I / Where do I / What do I / answers are here. Tons of information there.
    Good luck,
