You can do it! Let your imagination run with this for sure. I usually buy stabilized pieces in the range of 3/8" to 1/2" thick and dissect down on the band saw to get it in the ballpark of the thickness that I need for scales then put it on the belt sander to smooth out and take a tad more off. But the scales you have can be done in a few ways like the suggestions given. The one suggestion to double up the material and epoxy together to get a 2/16" would be great and would definitely work. That way you would not have to purchase or acquisition a new material as a liner.

Looking forward to seeing the final product which I know will be a nice piece. Just take you time and think it through. Good luck my friend.
