New peanut bolster help

[JAlexander]

Hi folks,

I just bought my wife a Case Peanut in CV, and she really likes it. The only problem with it is that the bolsters aren't rounded off at all, so it's not entirely comfortable in the hand. Is there anything that I can do to fix it? I'm sure she'll carry it anyway, but the better it is to hold, the more often she'll use it.

Thanks a lot,

James

you can bevel them if you have the right tools and the knack for it.

What tools should I use? I was thinking of using fine sandpaper to soften the edges by hand and then buffing/polishing them with jeweler's rouge on a dremel. Or is there a better way to go about it?

James, I would think that wrapping the sandpaper (wet&dry fine or very fine) around a tounge depresser might help control your sanding. A. G.

If you happen to have a Sharpmaker or other ceramic rod sharpener, you might try using the fine stones from it.
