    Very nice work. If I might ask, where did you get the bolster from?

    Thanks for the link...a very good tutorial. Could you use the same process for brass, or would it take too much heat to melt it?

    brass would require too much heat to melt. It would burn the paper dam, the antler and draw the temper from the blade
