Here is a new prickly pear cactus pen I made this weekend. It is black dyed EnviroTex resin with a satin nickel Baron kit. The finish is CA and is very shiny, even though the pic does not really show it. Comments always welcome!

I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......
P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

Absolutely gorgeous pen, Curtis. I love what you've done with the Prickly Pear skeleton. Question: Is using EnviroTex anything like using Epoxy?
That's not a light at the end of the tunnel; It's a naked singularity.

Henry,
Yes, EnviroTex is pretty much just like regular epoxy except it has a longer open time and seems to degass itself better, leaving a blank without bubble holes. The only thing I don't like about it is it is a little soft when cured.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. It is fun coming up with new stuff to use for pens and I am pretty proud of the cactus idea. It is a lot of work but worth it.

I think the cactus pens you've done and shown here are the most unique (and aesthetically pleasing) pens I've seen, Curtis. Major kudos on the idea and the execution.
