Mesquite is the only wood I work with now because of its stability and strength.It has a richly figured grain pattern that varies throughout the tree.The tight fibers allow the wood to be polished to a beautiful sheen.It seems only natural to be working with such a versatile and storied tree in the heart of the brush country of South Texas.

Large Candy Dish
In this bowl I have incorporated sap wood in the design.Sap wood in mesquite is very stable and will be as hard as the heart wood.Again, turquoise is used to accent the piece.
