prickly pear cactus tutorial

[Edmond R Russell]

I am looking for a tutorial on how to make prickly pear cactus skeleton pen blanks. I saw one that was posted here quite some time ago but the links no longer work. Does anyone have a copy of this or can you give some direction on how to get this done ?. I did strip out one cactus leaf and have the skeleton drying in the basement but it doesnt look like much material there.

Any help will be much appreciated. If I can learn how to do this I might be able to provide a source of prickly pear pen blanks but I sure hate reinventing the wheel when someone else has already done all the heavy lifting.

post reply here or email to me at

thanks much for any help I can get..

Added to your other question on the old MesquiteMan post, but wanted to make sure you know that his is coming to Bloomington, IL on April 27 and 28 for the Midwest Penturners Gathering. He will be doing 2 different demos over the two days.
