Turned a Pen using a Cholla cactus Blank

[George883]

I made several Cholla cactus and resin blanks and turned this Southwest Mesa kit this morning using one of my blanks.

Not sure I am a big fan of the kit but your blank is fantastic fit and finish is superb as well

I too don't really like that particular kit, but I doubt you could have matched it with a better blank! Well done.

Love both..have sold several SW Mesa kits. Do you mind if I ask you where you bought the blank?

Hi Tony. I made the the blanks. I used Alumailte slow and added blue, gold and pewter to the Cholla and and had them in a pressure pot for 4 hours. I also stablized the Cholla before casting
