Cool. I would love to make my own scales out of wood but I need to do a whole lot more learning before I even attempt. Good luck and keep posting some progress pics!

If you can't figure something out, feel free to PM me. Wood is fun. :)

Looking good. Wood is fun. Keep us updated.

FYI,some of these exotic woods can be quite toxic.Use a respirator when sanding or sawing to be safe.

Thank you for the warning about the toxicity of exotic woods. There is much to learn.

And a dust mask is not a respirator. They need to fit properly. Although if it comes to nothing or a dust mask I'd chose some kind of protection. Don't be surprised if your hands swell with a new wood either. (Wenge slivers are fun!)

Thanks for sharing. I was wanting to build my own scales as well. May I ask what kind of wood did you order and from where? Any info you can pass on is appreciated.
