Just so you know, if you are using layered G-10 / multicolor, take great care when thinning out -- If you don't thin it out evenly it will become evident very quickly, the different colored layers will start poking through in different places along the length of the scale.

Getting it perfect like Max takes some skill or you can leave it 1/8 thick and then just worry about rounding off all the edges perfectly / evenly
Thanks Brad!

Will definitely keep that in mind as even working in acrylic I've found it difficult to get the scales tinned uniformly across (usually try to get it within 0.05").

I'll probably take some scraps and see how it goes before trying to make some scales.

Glad someone posted that website (AKS) about the G10 that you can buy in thinner stock. May look to get some from them in the future.
