Fantastic looking blanks. I hadn't thought of using cactus skeletons. I live in AZ too, so have plenty around. I have a question on resins to which I haven't seen good answers. You use Alumlite which I believe is a urethane resin. Others use epoxy resins. Still others use the term resin and epoxy interchangeably, which adds to my confusion. Some sites even call Alumlite "epoxy". I know that in flooring materials epoxy is a harder material and urethane is more flexible. Do you have any experience with what resins do and don't work?
Beautiful pen blanks Ed.
I too live in Arizona. It would be great to meet sometime.
Nice pen blanks. I haven’t turned any pens yet, but they are on my list of things to learn. Thanks for sharing!
Good looking blanks, Ed!
Nice job
Absolutely stunning blanks well done, question if i may is the cactus juice one use only or can you re use what was left after stableising .
Interesting, Ed. I don’t do any turning but I'm here to support your channel.

Thank you Bill! I've got a pretty cool project coming up next. Hopefully it turns out as good as I have it in my mind. Take care brother! - Ed
