I wish I could give you a good answer. The blank is an 1/8 of an inch thick. It is still pleny strong.

I made a set of Cocobolo Scales and then gave them 3 coats of super glue as a finish before epoxying them to the blade. Once I trim down the pins, I will give them one more coat of super glue.

I apply the super glue with my finger tip. You have to move fast and keep moving or you and the wood become one.

Hello Rancid, why would you seal up cocobolo ? it is probably the 2nd hardest wood in the entire world... and its appearance is enhanced by use
and oils over time..... it is routinely used as top end handles on quality firearms and needs no other enhancment or treatments.. and it looks just fine after years of use on a firearm ... just curious ?
