They're just black hard plastic. I cut them for the medallion. These are a practice pair for when I do this in black buffalo horn. Filled the cavity with clear acrylic then cut the filling and polished them.

I don't imagine black buffalo horn will be as forgiving of a paddle bit as plastic.
I think I'd be tempted to build a jig out of some scrap wood and use a router. The resulting inlay opening should benefit from the more refined grind of the router bit as well as the higher speed of the router.

Oh yeah, I'll use a different set up next time for sure. But I know I can do this now.
I have folks lined up wanting The Temptress grips now!

I'm going to put them on the industrial laser at work next time for both of ours.

Excellent! That should give you some serious control.
