Why no wood laminate foe scales/handles

Sure, it should work. You can make scales out of lots of things.

Isn't Buck's Diamondwood a laminate?
 
Not sure about Buck's 'DymondWood', but the 'wood' scales on Buck's current 110/112 knives are laminates. If you inspect the edges of the handles under a magnifier with bright light, you can see the layers in it.

Case's 'Staminawood' is also a laminate, as seen on their standard Folding Hunter ('65) patterns and a few other knives. They've used it for decades, back to the 1960's at least.

It is sold in a multitude of varieties by all the knifemakers' supply houses. Laminated wood has been used for at least 50 years in the cutlery business.
 
The scales on my Benchmade Grizzly Creek are a laminate of sorts. I like the look of the "wood" and I like the durability of the laminate.
 
I was thinking about using some laminate or scales to match some pistol grips. I guess it should be fine

Laminated wood is not exactly "faux." It is real wood, but it is dyed and glued under pressure.
Unfortunately, laminated wood is used on many junk knives from Pakistan, and it sometimes associated with cheap knives. It's a good material for handles.
