Mesquite Block M2038 1.9" x 1.9" x 6.5" 0.7 lbs. This is a beautiful end-grain spindle of Texas-grown Mesquite. The color is the rich, reddish-brown of Mesquite heartwood with some creamy beige sapwood and dark-chocolate bark. The grain is mostly straight. This block has been fully air-dried to 10-12% moisture content. There are a few thin cracks that you may wish to infill with CA glue prior to turning. See photos for closeups. About the Tree This Texas-grown Pecan tree was harvested in Fresno Texas in December, 2021. It was in a residential neighborhood where it had been planted near a home that was built in the 1930s. Over the years, the small Pecan tree grew large, and it threatened the house. The homeowners reluctantly called their tree company to cut down the tree and stack the wood for us to recover. We're always happy to save wood from the firepit or city dump. Their tree is now yours to treasure! |
