Another new cactus pen...this time Cholla

[MesquiteMan]

I decided to try a Cholla cactus pen this time for something different. This is a Rhodium Havana from CSUSA. I don't like the Cholla as well as the prickly pear. What do you think?

Great work, but yes, I too prefer the Prickly Pear.

Curtis, as you know I love the Prickly Pear, but thats a great looking pen. Hmmm what will he do next?

 

[PenWorks]

I like it. It is different and that's good.

I prefer the prickly pear as well BUT that is beautiful!

Another pear preference here. The cholla is just too big a format for pens. Make a GREAT pepper mill though.

It makes for a great looking pen. That's a pen that will get noticed.

The more I look at it the more I like it. I think I still prefer the prickly pear but this is every bit as nice.

 

[chitswood]

Excellent, this is a cool looking pen!

 

[EPC]

EXCELLENT pen. So how did you go about filling in the gaps/holes?

 

[rgundersen]

I like both cactus blanks, they each have their own appeal.

I think you did a great job on this one.

Curtis, I keep coming back to this pen. Like Chris, the more I look at this the more I like it. Even more than the prickly pear, I think. But I also agree with Robert on them bothing having their own appeal. The trick looks more to be in finding branches/limbs/fronds (or what ever you call them on a cactus) in the right sizes.
