Well I have to do an interstates trip to SA ( South Austrlia ) for business ( 2 months ago ) when I find some prickly pear cactus, so I bring some home with me, not good looking at all especialy the dry one,the 1st lot clean in bleach melt[:0] I couldn't save anythings so I diluted the bleach and keep an eye on it, I let it dry and then cast in PPR, Thanks for looking.

Thanks to all for the comments, it's not more work than doing a segmented blank, the time consuming is just to let the cactus to dry, casting is easy, but I find that the cactus we got here Downunder is smaller than the one you got in the States, I mean about the thickness,I cast in 1 block then cut the blanks on the DS,if anyone is interested I can do a writter up.
Thanks for looking
