I'm looking for some custom scales.
Other than ebay does anyone know of a good place to get some already made scales?
thanks.

Custom Builts and Restorations
Thank you gssixgun. Your videos inspired me to bid on Wade and Butcher blade that needs some light work and new scales. This will be my first restoration project. I know to start the buffing very slowly and light pressure on the blade. I saw some you tube videos in addition to yours, but anything you can tell me to be aware of is greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards.

How about trying your hand at scale making. What do have to lose?
Darl,
Hey Darl,
Thank you for that push. I needed it.
It is like should I do it, but I don't know how kind of thing.
I jus bought a drill press and buffing wheels to remove the crud from this razor.
I bought a pair of horn scales from Canada, but I'm thinking that maybe I should jazz this 100 year old razor to a more modern look. :rock:
Nothing will make this Wade and Butcher look better than a pair of Cocobolo scales or even a pair of blue or red box elder wood. :)
Any way!
thanks for the push.
I needed it.

Good work on taking the plunge. Ask questions if you need to and be sure and show us the finished product :)
G'Day Aldo.
I first tried my hand at scalemaking using acrylic.
I got it for free at a local signwriters - out of their scrap bin.
You don't have anything to loose by trying.
Hope this helps
Thank you. I was a bit nervous buying a 100 year old blade but i've seen some restored blades that look amazing.
I'll make sure to post the before and after pictures.
Kind regards.
