the knife comes with black G10 scales and titanium bolsters. i plan to rescale the knife with teak burl scales and white coloured bolsters (havent decided on the material yet. the existing scales are very good. thought it might be fun to customise it a little bit.
i shall do a small WIP on the way...will try my best to describe what i am doing.
the folder with the G10 scales and titanium bolsters removed.
the teak plank that i am going to cut the scales from. approx 18" * 3" * 1/3 ".
a close up of the teak plank. i have drawn the outline of the scale onto the area which has the maximum figuring (for want of a better word).
the scale blanks have been rough cut. i apologise for not putting up any in action photos. its kind of difficult to do something and photograph it at the same time...
another shot of the two rough cut blanks with the G10 scales on top of them...yes...its recycled wood...thats why its painted...earlier use was as a part of a window pane.
a shot of the liner material, epoxy used and the scales. t-shirts make good liner material. i have used liners for two reasons:1) the wood, so close to a knot, is generally brittle and breaks easily. the liner will provide much needed backing to it. 2) while cross-cutting the blanks from the wood blank, i cut one slab too thin... 
...so the liner will also increase the thickness of the blanks. the blanks have been made flat on one side using emery paper and then roughened up for better adhesion.
