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.

Mesquite-Turquoise Bowl #564
This type of grain is a very rare treat. The tiger stripe and
variated grain on the left is outstanding. A little different
style of bowl for me, but it really shows off the grain.
8 inches by 3 1/2 inches.
