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.

thanks much for any help I can get..
