Why Choose Mesquite?
Ruggedly handsome in its own way with glorious desert charm. Mesquite trees are short, twisted Sonoran desert plants and the resulting lumber reflects the intense hard life they endure. Expect a surprise collection of knots, splits, worm holes and bark pockets you can feature in your own one-of-a-kind custom projects. Freshly cut mesquite is medium tan and ages to a reddish sun-baked sandstone color.
Get ready to work with the finest wood squares you've ever seen, they're ready to be turned into whatever you can imagine, such as furniture parts, table legs, small accessories, handles, artwork and other fine woodworking projects.

Mesquite Furniture Squares: 1-3/4" x 1-3/4" x 30"
I had ordered a Very Nice slab of Natural Edge Mesquite for two side tables (River runs through the center) I was tossing around what spices to use for the legs , I chose to use the same as the top for "Continuity"- The four pieces I received are extremely nice, straight, smooth grained (unusual for Mesquite, normally some twisted grain , not these four)- I like HARD species for "Heirloom Quality" of my Custom Woodwork , so in generations to come, it's still stout as when I first built it. I will order more of these when I start another project that can be enhanced by the character of this Very Cool species
