Mesquite Bowl Blank M-1118

9.2 lbs.

This is a rather large and interesting 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 complete and well-attached dark brown bark on the backside.  There is a large branch coming off the backside that will give you extra opportunity with this blank -- perhaps for a vase or deep bowl. 

This half-log bowl blank should be suitable for a bowl 7-8"  in diameter and up to 6" deep.  With the bark on the backside, you have the option of turning a conventional bowl or a "barky" natural-edge bowl. However, 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.

This is a classic half-log blank, split through the center of the log.  It does have a sliver of pith in it and has a few cracks developing, despite being well-sealed.   Mesquite is fairly dimensionally stable, so the cracks tend not to develop much compared to other woods.  For any that are present, I recommend reinforcing them with CA glue prior to turning. 

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.   It was heat-treated to kill off any hungry critters that may have been burrowing inside.   It was measured at 35 to 40% MC in April, 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.

These boot slippers are awesome!
Color: Long Black, Size: 10-13
Love 'em! FINALLY found these after lots of searches.... I wanted "boot" type slippers FOR MEN, so in the cooler/colder weather my ankles stay warm, as well as my feet. (It's easy to find them for women, but for some reason pretty difficult to find them for men.) Well, Amazon must have added these recently, because I had checked a number of times this past winter/spring to no avail. At any rate, these are GREAT! I had worn out another somewhat similar pair I had found on Temu a while back, but they were rather floppy and really too large and wide for my feet. After a year or so they had worn out, so I started searching anew, and found these on Amazon. These fit just great and are very well made, having a thick fleece and padded sole inside and a non-slip sole on the outside. Very, very comfortable! Just what I wanted, and kudos again to Amazon!

Not durable, cheaply made for big guys 6’4 235lbs
Color: Gray Navy, Size: 13-16, Color: Gray Navy, Size: 13-16
Don’t recommend for men. Boys maybe but not men. I wore them twice for about 3 hrs before bed. Went to put in the 3rd time and they ripped. It’s literally a small sheet of Sherpa from the shoe and plastic wrap. I also got the bigger size and they still don’t fit right. I bought these right before my trip upstate during the holidays, because I live in Florida. I paid $20+ for these, hoping they would be good. 1/10 recommend

Size 13 (not 13-16)
Color: Gray Navy, Size: 13-16
I have a size 13 foot and these Winter Socks/Slippers just barely cover the length of my foot, so if you are over size 13 these will be too small_ they are well made and insulated_ they look nice, just like the pic, and I can go from my house to the my car in the snow without the bottoms getting wet_ they are cozy without my feet getting hot_ just wish they were a half inch longer on the foot size to be a more perfect size 13_ they feel about 12-1/2
