Thank you all for the nice words and warm welcome back.
In my haste to put them up I forgot the details
The brides pen is a blank from CSUSA,called white marble and I used the nickel tubes to prevent the tube showing through.
The grooms pen is made from water buffalo from CSUSA iported as a trial to see if it was possible to import.I aso used the black tubes on this one. Buffalo horn can have flaws in it and sometimes has grey and white streaks.
Both pens were sanded and polished up to 12k mm and then McGuires auto polish and finally brasso paste.
Glad you liked them the B&G are over the moon
I am stil stepping around boxes and junk in the gargage most of the work has been centered inside the house or the graden at the moment. I no longer hve a seperate shed so rely on the spare garage space. Very happy with the move though.
