Drew guidelines for re-handling my carving chisels. Not an exact science, but it provides for consistency.
As a second-hand hound, I have different makes and styles of chisels/gouges. Bolsters are either round (my preference), squarish, or octagonish. I find bolsters to be the best determinant for handle style and size. The two should meet smoothly, IMO, which is best done by matching shape.
Lengths are always 12 cm, but widths vary to bolster. These full-scale designs reflect 16 mm bolsters.
