I do like the thin ones very much. Very elegant. There is still a good weight to them.

Some of the wood I’ve used is very light weight, even in thicker scales. I had wondered if you were using a stabilized wood. But I understand that leopard wood is pretty sense, so likely not.

Those scales weren't stabilized, though I have the equipment to stabilize and will start that after the first of the year. Up to now, if I've had any question about the wood, I put a G10 liner on it.
