Here are a couple of pictures Mike. I think it would make a pretty cool knife handle.
The only thing is i can't mail it off until after Halloween, since it;s part of my costume !




Let me know what you think.

OK....is there anyone else out there that has not received their Cactus that they traded/bought from Me?? I just got an email from Boo...and he said that His never was delivered...so please speak up...I do not in any way want anyone with Hard feeling because their shipment got lost or something!....I want everyone to be happy with their Trade....not feeling shorted or totally left out! I sent so many out that I can barely remember who I sent them all to...and the USPS Web Site only keeps Records for 31 Days.......

I was kidding. I just want to make sure I have a place to get the cholla when I need more. It's all good.

BTW, have you gotten your casting setup rigged up yet?
