    Default G10 Liner Thickness and Source?

    I'm thinking I'll line that mallee burl from another thread with G10 for stability. I'm taking it to my friend's house tomorrow for stabilizing too. Can someone who does this tell me what thickness they use and where they get it? Thanks-Aaron

    Okay, I just found Pete123's post from last year which seems like a good tutorial: https://sharprazorpalace.com/worksho...rn-scales.html
    Looks like .030" is the right thickness. I'm now thinking this is going to be my next project.

    I get mine from from Alpha Kife Supply and I get it in 0.030ish. You can get it in half that thickness too, I have never used it that thin but it likely would work. G-10 is crazy strong.

    Thanks, Shaun-I just placed an order. I should get it about the same time I get my stabilized burl back. Now to pick a blade.

    I think I am reading you right but pick/select the scales to match the blade!

    Tim-I have always done everything in my life backwards. I currently have about 2 dozen naked blades to play with, including a beautiful Henckels Platinum, Shaun. I'm sure I'll find something that speaks to me.
