Thread: Where to buy materials for making scales

Decided I wanted to try and do a full restore on two ebay razors I picked up and one needs new scales. I have watched a few videos and I have enough tools to make the scales but where do you guys get the material to make the scales. I was thinking about just using a crape myrtle tree in my backyard and making scales with it. However I wanted to know if there was a place online that offered a nice selection to choose from and what dimensions I should look out for.

I have looked around some and have seen people selling blanks but they are only 5" long and I would think for scales I would need 6"
