Rumnut ! because the jawbone is stabilised and cast in acrylic I use my usual CA Finish To get an even finish between bone and acrylic,

That's a great collaboration between yourself and Neil. A real feather in your cap to have it going to a private collector. Well done, it looks great.

Looks good John
, but really pushing the boundary of the blank 
You were lucky considering drilling the cap on this kit was 35/64" and almost shaved too much of the jaw
. I don't recommend the Aus Salt Water Croc blanks, even the big ones, for pens this large due to the smaller size of the crocs used.
