Mesquite Block M-1035 1.4" x 1.5" x 5" 0.4 lbs. This is a pretty piece of Texas Mesquite, just the right size for a duck call or other small turning. The color is the deep reddish-brown of Mesquite heartwood. The grain is mostly linear to gently curving. There are several during-growth cracks present, from when the tree was stressed and cracked by wind while growing. These have spalted nicely and may need some stabilizing while turning. See photos for close-up. |
