I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s got very unique lines. What “style” would you say it was in, or is it in the “BlueStingrayBoots” Style.

Hello, we’ll I like tall glass of milk and big sandwich, Thats where you place it between bites before napping. As far as the style, all I can say is: The stars at night are big and bright, just like the flowers that bloom deep in the heart of Texas.

Hey Ron, I’m roasting it in the sun a little now, I noticed it intensifies in color when left in sunlight. If you dont have a piece of mesquite furniture you should concider making or getting one. It doesnt stop with one piece though…..its a strange overwhelming feeling.

Is milling fun or what!
When I grow up I wanna be like you, actually I just want a very large mill! lol

Beautiful! Almost looks like it could pass for a bar stool as well. :-)

that is really cool…you could also change it from a nightstand to a barstool by making the under seat compartment a personal beer storage…

I love the wood…

Interesting design! Mesquite looks like an interesting wood to work. I like the color and grain.

Ha, Yea Napaman the instant to-go bottle of tequila compartment in case a hottie walks in(more than likely the wife) and we’ll go have a toast in the car I guess. lol

Mesquite is a wonderful wood, do a search. I aint even intrested in any other wood. I heard sniffing saw dust or not using mask, the dust thats unavoidably inhaled helps-out with diabites.

Wayne, I got a backlog in my mind. I aint got no mo room in there to start new projects.

Beautiful Mesqite table. Did you harvest the wood, yourself?
Is that the same wood you sell? It makes beautiful projects!

Is that really true about diabetes?

God Bless,

I dont recall if someone told me or if I read about it on internet. I’ll search internet to see what I find. But tell you what though, The ebony gives me heartburn and the mesquite give me no problem.
