Not bad, the fit looks good. That's what I'm fighting with the final fit. I am a bit disabled and my hands don't work like they should.

I've only done bolsters once. The customer at the time wanted G10 bolsters combined with the same ebony I did for you Rob.
I'll find a picture. It was a long time ago though. Back when I'd only just started making knives. It's not exactly a great knife. But considering the level I was at at the time I did a good job.

Alex, have you ever done bolsters before?

Well enjoy. Show them when they are done.

Just had a re-read of that. Very excited to do something with bolsters now. Too bad I've got at least 4 more knives to finish up first.

That's a good tip too. Thanks Stefan.

See my comment on how I do stippeling in Januarie in this group.

The other option is to use the rivets to decorate your bolster. (Sorry not a very good photo) So you can use a stainless bolster with brass pins. Add some more pins just for decoration or do some stippeling.

That's great Stefan. Now I have to find me a reamer somewhere :-)
Your pins blend in VERY well with your bolsters. I don't know if I'll be able to find the same materials at this time. But I often don't mine different looking colours on the bolster.
