Hello everyone. I'm just getting into making my own handles and have recently searched for and purchased a few sets of stabilized spalted maple, sycamore and ash scales. I found it impossible to find these in 1/4" thicknesses which is where I would like them to be. Most common were 3/8" or 5/16", both of which are quite a bit to thick for my application. I feel it will be very difficult to sand these down evenly with the tools I have available since I don't have a multi thousand dollar sanding setup (YET . So my primary question is can I run these scales through a small planer? If not, what advise do you have for me. Thanks in advance.
