MESQUITE, ANYONE???

Last month I picked up two pieces of crotch mesquite, approx. 5bf each, but they were bookmatched. I happily paid $200 for the pair, which are destined for my Moby Plank project (see blog.)

This looks like some serious turning stock. Wish I had a lathe…

Won’t someone bite the bait??? Still no bids and the starting price is $30. 2 Hours, 39 Minutes left!!! ;-D
Whoever the seller is should be thanking me for this advertisement!!

Don’t use it for barbecue until after you’ve made something with it…

TOO BAD!! AUCTION ENDED W/ ZERO BIDDERS. :-(
Man! I wish I lived close enough to get that stuff!

Lane, when mesquite is stacked for firewood, it’s usually because it’s full of wood borers. Unless it’s cut in the winter, the bugs will be in it within a couple of days.

MESQUTIE ANYONE??? Thanks for the web site. I just signed up and gave a little info. I would hate to burn if someone can use it and save us time. This site is new, and Im checking it out. I also seen where someone replied that you need to cut in winter, I didnt know that. Hmmm. Again, thanks for your insite on our pain. Have a great day.
