Thought you would find these shots interesting David, i will show a previous shot so you can compare the results. This is the darker side after 48 hours in a 3% hydrogen peroxide bath.

This is the same side after a further 24 hours in a 6% solution, i was trying to get more dye out and make it lighter to match the other side, but as you can see virtually no difference, maybe a bit lighter, If i was doing it again, i would do it with a 6% solution from the start.
This is it having a mineral oil bath after i cleaned it up, there was some tarnish from the hydrogen peroxide, it came off easily with some 600 grit wet and dry sandpaper, i then gave the bone a final smoothing with the same sandpaper, i will leave it in the mineral oil for e few hours to stop the bone from drying out to much, it has been through some traumatic surgery . I will give an update when i have finished to see what everyone thinks. Thanks to everyone for their interest, has been an interesting project so far, and hopefully can be helpful to other in the future.

Very interesting Sir, your on the right track I think....

Great job!
