DescriptionHandcrafted pencil holder made of wood (base) and dried cactus. The wood base is a solid piece of wood cut in an octagonal design, it is 5/8" thick. Glued to this base is a 3 1/2" piece of dried cactus (uneven circular shape). Hollow center of 1 1/2" diameter. The dried cactus has a natural open lacey design of different shapes, so that it gives the appearance of "Swiss Cheese" and light can pass through to the other side.
