Any advice for using Mesquite – my Father-in-law has some beautiful peices he is giving me from his ranch in Texas. ... thoughts were to do some turnings for bowls etc. since the pieces are small. Also – any advice on cutting the wood into slabs and drying it to help prepare it for use.

I would contact BlueStingrayBoots about this. I’ve bought Mesquite from him in the past and he was very helpful.

It is really stable and not prone to a lot of checking. Unfinished wood will stain you and your clothes. Save the chips for BBQ :) Get ready to do a lot more sharpening than you are used to. It eats tool edges for lunch.

Go at it and let your imagination soar. Everything made with mesquite is beautiful. Dry wood is better. :)
Have your say...
