Mule CPM M4: exotic wood handle

[naturalist]

Hi folks,
So sorry if my post is not in the appropriate place. Please move or delete it if i am wrong.
Here are some pics of my attempt to put an exotic wood on my mule CPM M4
The wood itself in Indonesia (Sundanese people) called as Limus piit (Limus is mango, piit is small bird), That mango has very small fruit. Not all of limus piit tree will have that kind of pattern. mostly without pattern at all.
Also, apology for not provide pictures in a good sequences.

Materials

the process

Almost done

Finished up with teak oil and linseed oil, it is my first attempt on making a mozaic pin, use epocy and stainless wire (1mm) in copper pipe (6mm).

Black liner use epoxy, i have no resource here to find appropriate materials.
