Handle modding question

[BitingSarcasm]

I picked up a Zomstro on clearance and decided that the handle needed to fit my hand better. Out came the grinder and belt sander, that annoying middle hump in the grip got a shave, and the scales got a light re-profile. Then I used it to chop the hell out of a bunch of innocent vegetation over the next few months. It turns out that it is a lot of fun as a chopper.

So now I want to put on wooden scales, but still secure it with screws in case I don't like the end result. Should I put a plastic liner in so that I have something between the wood and steel in case of over tightening?

no need -- unless you just want liners.
