I like the lighter colored wood. I mentioned using cedar to someone a while back but they weren't sure if it would hold up or not. I was shopping the other day and saw these blank slabs of cedar used to hang in closets, and thought they'd be the perfect size to make small scales out of. I think it would be a cool wood to use as inlays on something like a Kopa or Kiwi.3-1-1 wrote:I have often wondered why more people don't post mods using wood.

I love a wood scale. To me the stock G10 or FRN is just a pattern that I'll throw out later. To get things started I thought I'd share some pics of a complete set of value folders I'm working on right now. Still got to put the clip on the Reslience and have not yet decided what wood to go with on the persistence (not pictured). Contemplating a yellowheart wood.

WMR those scales are awesome, I really like the look of the leafstorm and the micheal walkers!WMR wrote:Spydie Mods 01b.jpg (70.0 KB)
What FRN model could you possibly replace the scales on without working for HOURS milling out wood for the inset liners? Ive only seen a delica with wood grips once... G10 liner lock models are definately by far the easiest to make scales for, frn knives the hardest. Ive made scales for a g10 dragonfly, and im considering making some ironwood burl scales for my GB. Not sure yet, we will have to see what happens!3-1-1 wrote:I have often wondered why more people don't post mods using wood. Either they are shy or not many are doing it.
