“Desert Ghost Rope” — Glow-Cast Cholla Fitness Art Piece

This one-of-a-kind piece blends natural desert biology with engineered performance and modern casting techniques. Crafted as a gift for a close friend, this jump-rope handle set began as harvested cholla cactus skeleton, carefully stabilized to preserve its organic lattice structure.

Each handle was then cast in premium resin infused with powerful phosphorescent pigments. By day, the wood/resin fusion reveals the natural cellular beauty of cholla. At night, the piece transforms — glowing from within and illuminating the intricate desert lattice like bioluminescent coral in motion.

Finished and polished by hand, these handles are fully functional yet sculptural — a fusion of rugged nature and engineered artistry.

Not for sale — showcased to demonstrate custom hybrid-material work, stabilization techniques, and functional art craftsmanship.
