Realy small cholla..??

[P. McKinley]

I don't know where else to post this. I hope I'm good here. Stacy...??

I need some help from a desert dwelling knife maker who's familiar with cholla cactus.

I have a fair supply of very nice cholla pieces, but all of it is sized for "normal" handles.
I need a really small, but still thickly walled, high quality piece for a 3 1/4" bladed dagger I need to build. Think - BIC lighter-shaped, but quite a bit thinner and shorter for the handle.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter

Check with the pen turning sites.
I googles "Pen Turning Cholla Cactus" and got a lot of leads.
