This is a piece of jumping cholla cactus skeleton that I cast with turquoise mica and epoxy. I have a few of these blanks for sale as well if you're interested.

Michael, that's a really nice/striking combo!!!
Where are these blanks for sale?
(btw, link to your Etsy page in the post, need to remove the ".com" at the end of the link)
I travel to Lubbock each Dec for a few days to visit family. I was born there, family moved after "the" 1970 tornado, not because of that, dad was transferred. Would love to stop by next trip out and chat

Very nice pen and wood choice. Looked at your FB and website, nice work. Have you ever attended SWAT in Waco.

Hey Bobby. Thanks for the compliment. Regarding SWAT, yes I attend and will be a vendor there. Matador Turning Supply will be my booth. Please stop by and introduce yourself. I will be next to Hidden Valley Woods out of Virginia

That is stunning IMO! 
I have never been a fan of the typical Cholla casts, but your skeleton cast (first picture especially) is a few bars higher. Many years ago I bought several of the cholla (maybe prickly pear) Skeleton casts from an IAP member and they were some of my favorite finished pens. He has stopped making them, claiming that the effort to clean, dry and cast was very time-consuming and cost prohibitive.
Thanks for sharing!

Yeah they are a pain for sure. These are a different cholla than they typically are ones you see. I like them because the holes are bigger and looks completely different. Thanks again
