I've always loved the ebony that comes out totally black.  Only suggestion I would have would be silver pins, (nickel silver, stainless, sterling silver, white brass, etc)

The only pin material I had was brass so that is why it is, you can't see it in the picture but there is a little brown in the wood is some places. This is 10- 1x5 inch band saw blade and 10 banding metal, drawn out, cut into 3 pcs, and welded again. Was going to cut again but was running out of material and didn't want to get it too thin. Etched in 100% muriatic acid.

I actually think the brass looks good as an accent. Otherwise it would be very monochromatic. Very nice pattern. It looks very well balanced. I bet it is comfortable in the hand.

I made a touchmark some time ago and keep forgetting to use it. I had not thought about putting it on the pin, I may try it.

You can get quite small letter stamps and the pins are usually soft enough to stamp.  Do have a backer for the other side though.  If the curves are strong having someone hold the blade and "balance" the pin on the backer can help
