WOOD WORK (ex: Cutting scale blanks on bandsaw)

[Joshua223]

Looking for some help, the closer the better.
I'm wanting to make some wood straight razor scales, but I need the wood cut down into 1/8" flat scales. Preferably without deep teeth marks that will need to be sanded out. I have to do most ofothe work by hand so cutting consistent scale blanks would be a pain.

I ordered one 6" piece of wood from a seller online and he cut it for me, but his bandsaw had a low tooth count so the pictures he sent me looked a little rough. Woodcraft can't use their wood shop to cut up anything you buy for them.
May need some other work done to if the future if it works out.

Thanks

Do you have a pic and dimensions of what you want? Could you use a planner?
Where are you located?

I'm in Duluth near Walmart.
Basically getting small blanks usually 6" long and 1 - 2" wide cut into scale blanks usually 1/8".
Right now I have a few large pen blanks I want to cut into scales.

I don't think l understand what you mean by "scale"

Straight razor scales/handles are what I want to make, so I need the right sized blanks.

Pieces cut to make knife handles.

I see now. A table saw would probably work. It might be easier if you could get longer pieces to rip down then cut it to length. I hope you can find what you're looking for

Table saw will work, BUT you lose more material. If you buy a nice piece of figured or stabilized wood you want to save as much as possible.
