My friend Tim found an arm off a wooden cactus decoration. Apparently two separate junk piles were sprouting wooden cacti. I love this sort of bizarre repetition.

I decided the cactus arm would make a good door handle. I drilled a hole in the base of the arm and hammered a square door-handle shaft into the hole.
