MESQUITE-TURQUOISE-CORAL BOWL # 501

I like this bowl because of the yellow sapwood. The nice thing about
mesquite sapwood is that it is just as hard and stable as the heartwood.
I was able to inlay the turquoise and coral into popped out bark pockets.

MESQUITE CHIP & DIP # 503

This is what I call a chip & dip bowl. It should be a little bigger,
it measures 10 inches by 2 inches, and I think 14 or 16 inches would
be a better size.
