Big thing with the potassium is if the bone is hard horned or not. Nice thing is you can apply it thinned out and shade the results a bit with a steel wool pad to lighten them from the bases up. Tough to beat the color for sure in comparison to any oil based stain.

I used stain thinned out. To get the ivory tips lightened, I used steel wool to lighten up.

In my research, don't start too dark. You can always add color if it is too light for your taste.
