I'm making the scales (sides) for a nice damascus-steel knife. The main
body of the scales are an orange-with-swirly-black burl (don't remember
name). The "guards" will be made from ebony. My problem is that the
scales and guard don't meet up along a straight line, rather a sweeping
curve. How does one cut the pieces so that they fir together *exactly*?
Because of the size/shape, I can't stack them and cut them simultaniously
on a bandsaw. It's a big pita to make a router jig just for this one
small
project. Ideas?

Cut close with a coping saw, hand fit with files, chisels or small carving
planes (luthier planes).
Woodworkers love a challenge!
