I'm currently working on a set of bone scales. White. I cut them out with a fine tooth band saw after i used paper in the center and glued the two pcs together. I found my holes for the wedge and hinge pin and then worked the down with a belt sander. at present i'm sanding them under water to remove the scratches . Now i'm seeing white on the center of the sides and whitish clear around the edges. If you add the width of the clear together both would add up the the width of the center. Kid of stripped. Is this normal with white bone. Most bone scales i've seen of the older variety are yellowish. do they die them or is this age. This is the first time with bone. I've made several scales out of horn and acrylic.
