I tried my first set of scales a year or so ago and on the point where the blade attaches wound up splitting the wood. I changed tactics and made thicker scales with success but on my last try went back to thinner. Split the scale againat the same spot. I try to be careful but looks like I'm doomed to thicker scales. Any advice out there?
