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.

MY NEW LATHE
This is my new Jet lathe. My old Delta got tired and went into retirement. The Jet has a little more horse power, but has the same amount of swing. It also is alot more sturdy, I hope this one has a long and happy life. Back to work!
