Those are beautiful and also unique pens. Well done. I had never heard of using the hide and bones before.

Those are beautiful!!
Are there many hoops to jump thru to export them seeing as they are made out of wildlife products??? I haven't looked to see if alligators are listed on C.I.T.I.E.S.

Now that's a first for me, Alligator pens! Those are really good looking pens. What are the bright colors, the reds and greens, in the bone? I really like them!

All the color is where the bone marrow was taken out and i replaced it with the different color's that you see.The bone's have a lot of prep work before you start turning a pen.

The prep work, what exactly does that mean? How did you fill in the voids? Do you purchase the blanks with the hide impregnated in the blank, or is that some additional prep work?
It would seem to me that a nice sequence of shots showing the process, or a video, would be a great educational experience for novices like me.
