I don't know what your wood suppliers are like in Slovenia but if you have some who supply turning wood and you have the ability of recutting spindle blanks or bowl blocks you can save yourself a lot of money over ready cut scales and blanks for stick tangs.

The wood was my first thought on doing it.
