There is an article in the library on making a bulb filler in which the author (Soligen) shows how to make a clip from stainless rod.

Has anyone designed a clip made of wood or bone ?

Have seen a few made with wood but not bone. Ideally if you "laminate" strips of veneer and glue together, I think you will get some nice results. It may be time consuming but it's on one of my many "to-do" lists.

Actually, Bruce Robbins (aka BRobbins629 on this site) made an all wood pen awhile back. Including a wooden clip. At least I think it was Bruce. I've slept a few times since then.

EDIT: Found it. http://www.penturners.org/forum/f13/rosewood-burl-ebony-clip-135199/

Thank you for the link
Nice looking pen I wonder how strong the ebony clip is ?

I've made several wooden clips and if you're careful, they're relatively strong. I usually supply them with a case and tell the user to be careful as they can break. Recommend them to be used more as a roll stop than a clip for your pocket. The metal ones I make are more robust.

And here's one in bronze
