Mesquite Bowl Blank M-1114

This is a shallow half-log bowl blank of Texas Honey Mesquite. The overall color is the deep reddish brown of Mesquite heartwood surrounded by a thin band of yellow sapwood, with a complete and well-attached dark brown bark on the backside.   It has the bonus of a small branch coming off the backside of the blank; there is likely some pretty grain patterns within.   

This half-log bowl blank should be suitable for a bowl 5"  in diameter and about 2" deep.  You could also explore turning an elongated or winged bowl, since this blank is extra long.  With the bark on the backside, you have the option of turning a conventional bowl or a "barky" natural-edge bowl. However, if you want a full bark edge on the "natural" rim, you will need to secure the bark with CA glue before and possibly during turning.

This is a classic half-log blank, split through the center of the log.  It does have a sliver of pith in it and has a few cracks developing, despite being well-sealed.   Mesquite is fairly dimensionally stable, so the cracks tend not to develop much compared to other woods.  For any that are present, I recommend reinforcing them with CA glue prior to turning. 

This is a GREEN to partially air-dried bowl blank, meaning that it still retains a lot of its original moisture from when it was a living tree.  It has been well-sealed with Anchor Seal and is in the process of slowly drying.   It has been heat-treated to eliminate any gnawing critters.   It was measured at 35 to 40% MC in April, 2022. If you need a current moisture content, please message us and we'll check its status for you.


About the Tree

This Texas-grown Honey Mesquite tree was harvested in El Campo, Texas in March of 2022.  It was cut down by the city for reasons unknown to us, and we were happy to help save the tree from a burn pile.  It is possible that this tree was damaged by the Valentine's Day Freeze that Texas suffered in February 2021, which is when our state lost a lot of beautiful trees in an unusually deep and long freeze.

You can feel good about this American-grown hardwood being responsibly harvested and turned into beautiful art by YOU.  The tree was in healthy growing condition, with a minimum of bug damage and a nice healthy girth to the trunk.  There is some minor evidence of fire damage, perhaps from a campfire, near the base of the tree on one side.   It may have been in a fairly protected area such as a city park, as the Mesquite is less twisted and gnarly than trees grown in open pastures.  The grain looks generally long and straight and of excellent quality for green or dried turning.

"Keep On Holding On" assist.
Size: Medium 16in x 1in
Magnet is powerful indeed . The velcro strap is quite long and I have not figured out how to shorten it without cutting it. Great for hoses, ropes, and pull alongs. Temporary use as hold down in a truck bed for lite items.

Nice product with lots of uses. Strong magnet and great strap
Size: Medium 16in x 1in
Used this to replace the Klein magnetic strap on my C-800 multimeter. (This is not easy and takes a lot of manipulation, but if you can get it in the plastic loop on the multimeter up past where the loop in the strap end is sewn, you can use a screwdriver through that to yank it the rest of the way). Once it’s done it’s beautiful! This thing could hold 2 dozen multimeters and it’s MUCH longer without being too long! Otherwise it’s just an awesome strap anyway. It holds a lot of weight (I didn’t test to spec) but definitely enough for what one would expect! I have both sizes, the smaller one is attached to the multimeter and the larger holds a cord to the side of my toolbox. (Tip)- to prevent slipping just put the magnetic base on the other side of the metal by the box tray and let the strap hang over (if attached to a toolbox). It adds to the weight it can hold too. (Just physics). That will work on anything vertical and thin enough to get around with enough slack to still use the strap. 👍. Would definitely buy another

An effective organizing solution for missions involving movable equipment
Size: Medium 16in x 1in
Following the compromised operation in Prague, I was tasked with organizing equipment for the embassy annex in Vienna. The VELCRO Brand Magnetic Straps provided an essential solution for securing various tools and equipment to metal surfaces, facilitating quick access during critical moments. The durability of the strap, combined with an impressively strong magnet, ensured that our gear remained in place despite variable operational conditions. However, the loop formed by the strap could be larger; it limited our options for certain garden hoses, which became a notable drawback. Overall, the robust quality of the straps enhances logistical efficiency in high-pressure scenarios. Katarina's earlier input on this product proved beneficial, although I detected apprehension in her demeanor while discussing its application. Recommendation: An effective organizing solution for missions involving movable equipment, with minor adjustments needed for cord size.
