I need to get a HANDLE on things...

OK, I'm new to knifemaking. I've done a couple wood handles, but would like to move on to something more fancy, like setting rocks into the hilt/pommel (I prefer brass hilts & pommels), or inlaying in the wood, maybe using something like deer horn on it, etc. My question is is there a site that has this sort of information or a book that's recommended? Or maybe you have some answers for a beginner?

Thanks!
 
OK I messed up writing that...I need to know how to do the inlay, not where I can get supplies...

Sorry about that.

In the Bill Moran video on forging, the last section shows Bill doing silver inlay work. It might help you get a handle on it.
