My sincere Thanks Patrick. I really do like the cholla for handles. It does have a really cool look that is not common to this area. I toyed with the idea of making a removable button and storing something in handle. Like maybe some fish hooks and line. When I took it to the post office the lady there wanted to know if I'd make one for her husband. She couldn't believe it was a TV screen.

Your welcome buddy.
I always get a kick out of the looks and questions I have gotten  from the post office employees.

Thanks flungonin. It's at it's new home now. It made it safely on Santa's sleigh to another PA member in Ohio. Glad to hear hunter bob liked it to. I like to file the cholla down to fit my hand. Put a button on and a little English Walnut stain and tru oil. I have thought of doing like Patrick did, but never tried it yet.
