I chose to turn this cactus shaped necklace holder as I’m “on-location” in Arizona. To me, it is an exercise in slicing a woodturning and re-gluing it for a different effect. At the same time, since I don’t have access to a drill press, I used my lathe to drill holes in the side for the cactus arms.

Despite all this, it still will serve nicely as a necklace holder.

At least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
