The craftsmanship in these custom micarta scales in this tutorial are amazing. Superior attention to detail and quality materials. Even down to the soap stone harvested in the Netherlands for the wedge.
I stumbled upon this while researching custom scales. It is inspiration for my project. I wish I could find quality videos like this where they use Gabon ebony. Ebony is a much harded material to work with and probably not the greatest to do your first project with. So I probably will test practice runs first. I still need to find a blade. I want to use a Japanese one but will have to settle on any quality steal I find that's worth salvaging the blade and replacing the scales.
