    Default Beautiful Mesquite Burl

    I am debating whether to keep this one in my collection or put a large price on it so it won't sell lol. I have enclosed pictures of the 2 blanks part way through turning to show you what I had to work with and what eventually to my excitement was something totally unique in quite few ways for me. I hope you like it and thank you Maxman I owe you big time (He sent me some small boards from a tree he cut down and I was able to send some to Bruce (Simmotra) Bruce more on the way.
    I put this on a Black TI Kit from Rockler (instructions called it a rhodium) don't know but I like this one alot.

    Yes it is I am learning that more and more and instead of trying to mass produce a simple blank I am trying to make a challenge so I don't get bored. This mesquite was punky, dry and smelled real bad turning but the ugly duckling emerged.
