So after my last miserable attempt at making scales (all by hand) I asked my grandpa to get out the scroll saw and a belt sander. This made everything more accurate and 100 times better. Let me know what you think.

Birdseye maple

Going to replace micro fasteners with all brass hardware.

Blade is a Joh. Engstrom Ran-Tan Ka-Rus Red Devil made in sweden

Thinking CA finish or some oil. Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks for looking





The Wedge was lose cause i hadn't tightened the micro fastener completely. It sits flush with the scales
