Best resin for knife incorporating bone beads

[Moynish Ivy]

Hi Folks

Can anyone advise what resin would be best to set some bone beads into. Idea is it would make a kind of irregular polka dot pattern on the knife handle.

This is my first project so any help much appreciated.

Epoxy adhesive

Perhaps the OP has forgotten about this thread? Looks like he's not been back since posting. I'm not sure what he's asking, is it a casting resin desired to place the bone beads inside a clear epoxy scale? OR, is it to insert the bone beads in an existing wood (or other material) scale?
