I'm undecided on scales for my Wostenholm I XL. I have 2 choices, figured maple or, whatever this other wood I have is. It's sad really but I can't remember what it is very pretty is all I can come up with.
I want to say it was one of the iron woods. I cant remember which one. It is hard and oily doesn't soak up water at all hardly. It's very prone to crack Im going to vacuum stabilize it next time I'm at my moms. I cheat and use thin CA glue with kitchen foodsaver bags. It works if I'm careful not to suck up any CA in the foodsaver.
