THE DREAM
In early 2020 while traveling through the Mojave Desert, I decided to collect Cholla cactus wood for garden decorations. The copper hued sunset over the desert caused me to think of how beautiful the dried Cholla (pronounced "choy-ya") branches would be if they were made of copper. So I decided to learn the science of copperplating organic material. Leslie and I spent the next eight months developing CopperCholla™.
