Mesquite Bowl Blank M-1164 3.5" x 8" x 8" 6.6 lbs. This is a very nice half-log bowl blank of Texas Honey Mesquite. The overall color is the deep reddish-brown of Mesquite heartwood surrounded by a thin band of yellow sapwood, with a mostly complete and dark brown bark on the backside. The pith has been cut completely out of this blank. ** There are a few cracks in this block that will need CA glue or epoxy treatment prior to turning ** The block is discounted because of the cracks. This piece was "baked" by a fire that appears to have been lit near the base of the tree, perhaps a small campfire. It did not kill the tree, but it toasted it causing a very pretty reddish hue to develop. The wood feels like it has a different texture than unbaked Mesquite, so it may have a unique turning character, perhaps harder than usual. Sharp tools are a must! This half-log bowl blank should be suitable for a shallow bowl 8" in diameter and ~3" deep. The bark is mostly complete, so you have the option of turning either a conventional bowl or a "barky" natural-edge bowl. The bark is a bit loose and some pieces have fallen off, as you can see in the photos. If you want a full bark edge on the natural rim, you will need to secure the bark with CA glue before and possibly during turning. The bark is visibly scorched, and there are some extra bore holes associated with the scorched bark. My guess is that it allowed boring bugs access to the wood that is normally resistant to bugs. This is a GREEN to partially air-dried bowl blank, meaning that it still retains a lot of its original moisture from when it was a living tree. It has been well-sealed with Anchor Seal and is in the process of slowly drying; this process can take years if you leave it in whole-log form but faster once cut into bowl blanks or turned for a first turning. It was measured at 35% MC in March 2022 and 20% in July 2022. If you need a current moisture content, please message us, and we'll check its status for you. About the Tree This Texas-grown Honey Mesquite tree was harvested in El Campo, Texas in March of 2022. It was cut down by the city for reasons unknown to us, and we were happy to help save the tree from a burn pile. It is possible that this tree was damaged by the Valentine's Day Freeze that Texas suffered in February 2021, which is when our state lost a lot of beautiful trees in an unusually deep and long freeze. You can feel good about this American-grown hardwood being responsibly harvested and turned into beautiful art by YOU. The tree was in healthy growing condition, with a minimum of bug damage and a nice healthy girth to the trunk. There is some minor evidence of fire damage, perhaps from a campfire, near the base of the tree on one side. It may have been in a fairly protected area such as a city park, as the Mesquite is less twisted and gnarly than trees grown in open pastures. The grain looks generally long and straight and of excellent quality for green or dried turning. |

Recommended for sure ts peak
Color: Matte Black
Not really the best at explaining, but here's something simple :v
This mouse works very well for everything in my opinion, especially gaming. It does has silent clicks, but as a GD player I click the mouse kinda hard, and it's a bit louder but that's ONLY because of the way I click. The mouse is very responsive and pretty comfortable, although I have no Idea what a 10/10 comfortable mouse feels like. This mouse is durable, don't ask how it happened, but it's survived a few drops and still works perfectly. As far as connectivity and compatibility, I'm not exactly sure, but it connected to my Windows 11 as soon as I plugged the driver in, it also connected to my PS5 without issues. To easily tell the size, it's about as wide as an apple, and as long as maybe half of a normal-sized water bottle. The 3 bars of lighting that show the battery percentage aren't exactly the brightest, but it's easy to tell that the mouse is on and how much battery it has. The easily accessible customizable DPI button has about 4 levels to choose from, which all work well, level 1 is pretty slow and level 4 is fast if you're unfamiliar with higher DPI. The 3rd setting for the DPI is very easy to control, I feel like it follows my movements at a very nice speed.

Nice yellow mouse
Color: matte yellow
The mouse is really nice, comfortable, and easy to use. It stands out on my computer desk thanks to its yellow color. It is wireless and charges via USB—it doesn't use batteries, which I’ve found to be excellent so far. I haven't been using it for very long, so I don't know how long the charge lasts.

A reliable mouse for people who don't need all the bells and whistles.
Color: Matte Black
I wanted a mouse without all the bells and whistles. I don't care about programming my mouse or having 18 ways to move it remotely. All I want is an ergonomic point and click device. This mouse meets my requirements. I give it four stars because, on waking my computer, the cursor is "frozen" until I click it. And, the mouse is a bit small for my hand. These nits aside, this mouse is perfect for my needs.
