Hello and Welcome. You could check out the restore threads here to give you ideas on what others have done regarding the wedge and maybe what will appeal to you. Also the WIKI has some tutorials on what you can use to finish the scales..a quite a few guys lately have been using CA (gorilla glue) to finish with great results. Just be careful while sanding, if you're doing it by hand you should be ok..there's a tutorial on that in the WIKI too. Also, pics may help if you want our opinions
