Bolster/guard help?
As a neewbie I have little experience (none) in making custom bolsters? Hours of time spent have produced little joy, can any member suggest sites,books, dvds any help appreciated. If there are any re-sellers of bolsters please advise.
Cheers Brent

If you are looking for knifemaking info I would highly recommend the instructional videos from Center Cross Videos. There are also tutorials on this site , Don Cowles has an excellent one on making dovetailed bolsters.
If you could be more specific as to the problems you are having it would be easier to help.
