SRP scales
I am working on some custom SRP scales to donate for the monthly drawing. I almost have them finished please let me know what you think. I have the cut out areas reenforced with clear epoxy resin and the wood is black walnut.

Wow that is incredible, I have no idea how you would even attempt something like that. I already congratulate whoever wins those!

Yes, very impressive....my thought is how strong are they. Now that you have put so much detail into them.
But yes, I am very impressed with the detail

When I first cut them out of the black walnut I had to be kind of careful with them, at least around the letters in the SRP logo, that's when I got the idea to fill in all the open areas with the chrystal clear 2 part epoxy resin. I had used it on "Bubbles" with a little bit of blue tint and it worked great so I thought I would use on these too for strength. Well they are plenty strong now actually a little stronger than celluloid so I'm happy.

That looks excellent. How much time did that cost you?
