Guarantee
Guarantee
We guarantee that all our cast resin is clear and free of bubbles. All our scales ship flat and ready to use.
Punky woods such as burl and spalted woods may include voids, cracks, and bark inclusions. We'll fill any major visible inclusions before they ship, however small inclusions may be reveled when shaping.
We recommend Starbond Black CA glue for filling these voids if they happen to appear.
Care and Maintenance
Care and Maintenance
Scales should be stored in a temperate environment until ready to use.
All mixed media scales are prone to warping when exposed to large changes in temperature and humidity. Stabilizations reduces this tendency but is by no means a cure. Once glued to a tang the risk of movement is minimal.
We recommend a buffing wax such as Renaissance Wax as a final finish. This protects the handle and keeps it looking it's best for years to come.

Made to Last
We ensure that all the wood used in our segmented scales is stabilized on-site using industry standard methods. This process guarantees increased durability and longevity. Additionally, select wood species such as Maple allow for an exciting array of colors that won't fade over time.

Easy to Use
Our spacers and banding are made in house with the same urethane based resin we use for hybrid and full resin scales. While being easier on your tools and your body, it also shapes and sands beautifully and polishes to a high luster.

Never Disappoints
All our scales have been machine flattened, sanded to 220, and then coated with lacquer on the book-matched face to highlight their unique color and grain. You can trust that what you're seeing is what you're getting.
