So, any update on the wooden scales? I'm wondering if the OP got scared off by the bantering and enormous side track of this thread?! I am curious how his walnut scales are coming along! Don't leave us hanging!

I have been wondering that as well, and in the meantime have finished a set of zebrawood scales finished in CA for a Joseph Rodgers & Sons I picked up a couple of weeks ago in my travels. Wood isn't perfect by any means, but I like working with it, think it looks great, and with modern finishing options should last longer than I will. It's up there with horn (so far!) as my favourite material to work with, although I'm eyeing up some more modern materials to broaden my horizons one of these days.

It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

Walnut is plenty nice! I don't think you want to deal with the numerous difficulties of burl wood right now, it can be tricky! I say figure out your design and make a cutout to find the best looking grain for the shape. I like it at an angle, myself. Maybe 20-30* from parallel to the spine.
But there is plenty of good advice early on in this thread!
