Stag ?

[JDW]

I have a customer that wants stag scales put on an Old Timer sharp finger. The scales that he bought are very porus on the back side, and no matter how I cut them, there will be alot of this porus stuff showing on the edges, and front and rear. My question is, how can I fill this so it won't look so bad? My thoughts were to use epoxy with some sanding dust from the stag mixed in and spread it on the back, before I cut them. What do you fellow dogs think?
Thanks for any help, Dale

If there is pith showing there is not a lot you can do i would use multiple coats of crazy glue untill it will not absorb any more then sand smooth.

Super glue will fill it if you use the really thin stuff.

Sounds like Elk rather than Stag if it that pithy
Put a bolster on bothe ends similar to this
