    I think I understand the question. The wedge should be thinner at the tip of the scales so it causes the scales to try to be wider in the middle.

    I hope this piece of info helps you, join the two selected pieces of wood together that you have decided to be your scales, with masking tape, then sandwich them together between double sided tape, now work them together not as individual pieces of wood to the desired shape and thickness, now before you part them mark and drill your holes for the pins, hope this helps, here's a few pairs of my scales with liners a bit more difficult, master the basic wood ones first.

    That wedge might be to wide. If it is to wide the razor might sit to deep in the scales. I will usually measure the width of the razor where I want it to sit in the scales and make the wedge that wide.
