I think my scales are going to be from a piece of Black Locust
fire wood. It's been in the basement for 5+ years, its dry.
Pulled it out for kindling, split a nice slab off it.
I think I can make it flat enough with a power plane to
work two slabs.
Not going to spend much for nice handles, this whole thing
will be a miracle if I get a good functional tool on my first try.
Functional beauty is the best I can hope for.
Maybe #2 will look better.
I know I'm about tired of filing. Several hours in, more to go.
Afraid of the angle grinder or belt grinder at this point.
Fast tools can make quick junk.
