i need your opinions please. i have this antique sewing box i bought in 2009. it is beautiful. i told myself someday i would use it for scales. this morning i posted some pics on the facebook page " knife handle material and how to do" because i wanted to check to be certain it was quartersawn oak, and not some other wood. one guy said i should be ashamed of destroying a piece of art. he seemed pretty offended. another guy said he would hate to see it cut up, and that i should sell it to him so he can give it to his wife. another offered me sets of scales in trade so it will stay whole. do you think it is a bad idea to use it as knife scales?
