Thread: 1pc Scales w/Corian... initial findings

Evening all!

While on travel at my folks place, I took advantage of my step-father's shop. We created a jig to safely make 1pc scales (more to follow) and work with some of the Corian I picked up.

The initial; Corian is actually easier to work with than I expected and buffs up very well.

I wanted to go with a 1pc design for a number of reasons and created a basic template really like.

Here are a few very initial pics. This is with a Dubl Duck #1 balde I have been dying to use but needed scales. The blade still needs some work, but atleast I have come up with a shape I like. This is my 1st attempt at scale work; I had the shape idea in my head but translating it was more fun....

The Corian sample is Cirrius White. The pics really do not show the "grain" that resembles a bone marbled pattern. I must confess, I am pleased with myself for a 1st attempt



Comments?!
