Thanks guys it was pretty easy, first i sanded the cholla to get ride of the outer layer, then i wrapped it with plastic wrap and taped it tight.Then mixed 5 min epoxy with
powdered charcoal to give it the black color and poured it in slow added blade then set it handel down in a pot of soil to hold it while it dryed. After about 20 min take tape and plastic wrap off and sand, their will be some plastic stuck in the epoxy but i will disappear after sanding. Mix 5 min epoxy and paint it all over the handle let dry that's it

     Abo-solutely beautiful! :o  That is sa weeeet! 8)  I wish I could make a blade without breaking it. :(  I have a piece of Cholla that Eddie gave me, and it is patiently awaiting a blade that doesn't break before I can get it to the handle.  Again that is really nice work.

That's a very cool knife.  Great job!  I think the stand really looks good with it as well.
