Ed,
What I was referring to is the joining of the scale, spacer, then bolster in-line on a full tang.
(spacer between scale and bolster). All three being different materials to get them perfectly
sanded down without digging into the other or ruining the finish on one of them.
I hope this clarifies.
example: (I know it's not full tang but assuming on same principles)
