    A tapered diamond burr, from Harbor Freight ($8 for the set) in a pin vise will open the hole nicely. Also works well for tapering the hole in the scales to prevent cracking, when pinning.

    Here is a pictorial tutorial on making domed collars. I also made a mandrel from a bolt and small piece of brass tubing to polish them.
