Thread: What is your favorite scale material

I love Horn!!! More so the translucient horn. Its not to heavy, naturally beautiful and feels good in my hand. But it does have its draw backs. Though it can be easy to work with and requires no finish. But it all depends on the stock you recieve. Warping and delaminating are the 2 huge problems I have indured working with horn. But when it all come together right to me theres nothing like it.
Surprisingly, I have found that acrylic worked very similar to horn in respects as far as shaping sanding and buffing and also does not require a finish, and there was 0 warping or delaminating problems like horn. I have only finished 1 project with the acrylic. But was very pleased with the results.
