I should add that if using jigged bone or antler I will use domed pins. I clamp a small post I rounded a impression with a drill bit in. I used 1/16 pins or 3/32 depending on size of handle. I put the backside pin onto the clamped post and peen one side then turn it over and do the other. I do this regardless of having glued the pins into the handle. I've had issues with peening and I just use corbys or loveless screws for wood handles.
