A better Bulino Handle
Make your own, Very Light Wight, Excellent Bulino Hand Graver.
See my recent Post (New Bulino Tool).
Rod was correct in that that tool I was using was a little on the heavy side, I took his advice and ordered some wood handles from Contenti (Jewelry Supply) and this is what I came up with.
