Thread: A little help with scales?

Hey guys, I'm building some scales out of a few blocks of curly claro walnut and I have a few slabs that are roughly 3 1/2" wide by 9" long by 1/4 to 3/8" thick. I am taking a longshot to see if anyone here has a thickness planer (or thickness sander..even better!) who wouldn't mind taking some of these down to about 1/8" thick for me. I'd be willing to give up a blank or two (each one is enough for a few scales) in exchange... I'm also checking with different cabinet shops and places like that to see if they will do it for me, but I thought I'd also test the waters here.


PM me if you'd be interested, or if you have other suggestions for me....Thanks
