Thread: Scale Spacer

Hey all,

I'm in the process of making my first set of scales out of Tasmanian Myrtle. Looking OK so far.

I was going to use wood for the spacer but after re-looking at Bill's CD I thought I'd use the old spacer from the original scales. I've cleaned it up and want to use it but the shape is quite a steep wedge and I'm worried that once I've glued and pinned them all together the metal wedge will separate from the timber and show a gap (I think I've explained that correctly).

Has this been an issue for anyone and should I give the metal a miss and go with just a flat home made timber job?

Any advice much appreciated!!

Cheers,
David.
