    No sure if they will help, but at www.carvebuddy.com Michael offers a great free cactus tree and more.

    I may be wrong here, but I don't really think a cactus is a tree. Might look like one, but I think it's a differece in how the plant feeds itself. Saguaro cactus tree? Kind of like calling a 1 ton 4 x 4 a car.

    Don't tread on me.

    On a better note, Sears is replacing my machine again.

    Any ways...

    I give up!! I am not an expert on Saguaro or cactus tree! I was trying to offer another source I knew of to help. He can use it or not! I am two for two now looks like I need to stay quiet?

    Thank you Rod as I said, just wanted to help you and I remembered Michael sharing a great pattern. Lol it was like you asked for an oak tree and I suggested a pine tree! Both are trees, but I do know they do look different!

    So the the pattern looked close other then looking close I couldn't tell you their properties!

    Sorry as I posted I have been spanked twice now for offering help. So I guess it is taking it's toll?

    But I appreciate your reply!

    Hey Ike.
    I am not aiming for you. Just saying a cactus is not a tree. I was told that when I moved out here from Minnesota years ago. 90% of the people call them trees. Passing it along to others. That is all.

    You are such a skilled craftsman and a good person. You are always there for the forum members who ask for help.

    Please accept my deepest apologies!

    Red face Sorry to Ike and others

    Please accept my apologies for my "tree" comments. I created the heart shaped "stuff" box pattern for my little Brit and would like to share in hopes of making things better here...

    Mother's Day, Valentines Day, Anniversary, I'm Sorry Day, etc. Almost any pattern can be merged on the lid. They are both a one bit carve as is. Makes things easier for me. You can adjust and change to what ever works for you.

    I don't usually put my designs on the forum as others argue the "legal ownership" thing. Don't want that.

    If you carve and sell these, just give me a bit of credit.

    Sorry to Ike and all!
