I really like your choice of hardware set color for each of these pens. The finish also looks very good to me. Nice Job.

important safety tip...do not wet sand whalebone...it pulls the dark into the holes...dry sand only...and bleach....mix bone dust into thin CA for first coat...next one will be better....

I have that problem on any lighter-colored wood with sanding and getting the dark into the grain.

They all look great. good choice of kit on the bone. gun metal always looks nice with bone/antler. I agree with Mharvey on the wet sanding with anything porous. but it still looks great. I use my old mm pads dry for sanding antler hav'nt ran to discoloration since. If you wanna wet sand use a few coats of CA first. nice work on all.
