Cabinet doors with saguaro rib inserts

Where do saguaros go when they die?  They become decorative accents when the right people find them, that's where! Tucson artists, residents, decorators and craftsmen of all manner find the skeleton useful & interesting to work with.

The mighty saguaro cactus of the Sonoran Desert leaves a skeleton behind when its long life is past.  They are used for fencing, lattice work, ceilings, cabinets, left in place as an interesting reminder that nothing is permanent (but gets interesting even after passing on), chair backs, you name it, those saguaro ribs serve a lot of uses!

Kent,

Pretty cool, nice and rustic. I am suprised the state lets them die.

Thanks for dropping by, Johnathan - the state doesn't really have much to say about the matter, Mother Nature does what she wants!  Saguaros are protected & live 150 to 175 years on average, but nothing lives forever.

I have never seen anything like that.  It is definitely rustic looking.

I can just see that in one of those rustic adobe homes out there on the desert! I love Arizona!

I always wondered what happened to all those Saguaro skeletons.  Now I know.

Looks like a very cool design.  I love your areas architecture and designs are influenced by the desert.  Who would have thought a cactus would have so many uses.

Robert, Caren, Gene, Justin - thanks for dropping by!  This photo is of a storage cabinet underneath an outdoor BBQ.  I'll try to get some more photos of the uses of saguaro ribs, as well as of them in their natural state & post them too.
