Crimson Ember Maple Book Match Scales

Bold color and flowing figure come together in these Crimson Ember Maple Book Match Scales. Measuring 4 3/4" x 1 3/4" x 1/4", this stabilized maple has been deeply dyed in rich crimson tones that highlight the natural movement of the grain while giving the wood a fiery, almost molten appearance.

Carefully cut as book-matched scales, the grain mirrors beautifully from side to side, creating a balanced and striking finished handle. The stabilization process enhances durability and machining performance while allowing the dyed figure and natural chatoyance of the maple to truly stand out under finish.

Fun Fact: Maple has long been prized by instrument makers and craftsmen because of its smooth grain, stability, and ability to absorb dyes in dramatic and vibrant ways.

Built for makers who want bold color, clean symmetry, and a handle set that refuses to blend into the background.
