Hi everyone

I might already asked this question or a relative one here. I've a French blade with a fancy spine about 7/8 ( but it will lose some because the edge had some rust but not a big deal). Its actual scales are made by plastic but the size doesn't fit. So as have some black horn, I started to make new scales for this one.

Before go further, is like to have some advice from you guys. These horns are about 5 mm thick. And I need to absolutely make them finer, lose some thicknes. I tried some hand sanding before with wood for an other blade but it's really trying, it takes to much time and not the perfect result. I also tried with a electronic sander. I had similar issues but better than hand sanding.


Well with electric sander the problem is; actually it is made for send floor. But I'm using it, with turning down side to up and put the horn or wood on. But as it's so powerful I can't control/ keep the material stable on it every time, last time the wood was not perfectly plane. So tomorrow I went to start on this job but still not sure how to take these horns to make them finer?

I'm looking for a fast but good result.

As always any advice will be appreciated ...
