Mesquite Bowl Blank M-1084
2" x 7" x 8"
3.6 lbs.

This is a very nice half-log bowl blank of Texas Honey Mesquite. The overall color is also the deep reddish brown of mesquite heartwood surrounded by a thin band of yellow sapwood, with a nearly complete and dark brown bark on the backside. The pith has been cut completely out of this blank.  This piece was "baked" by a fire that appears to have been lit near the base of the tree, perhaps a small campfire.  It did not kill the tree, but it toasted it causing a very pretty reddish hue to develop.  The wood feels like it has a different texture than unbaked Mesquite, so it may have a unique turning character, perhaps harder than usual.  Sharp tools are a must!

This half-log bowl blank should be suitable for a shallow bowl 6-7" in diameter and ~2" deep. The bark is nearly complete and mostly well-attached, so you have the option of turning either a conventional bowl or a "barky" natural-edge bowl.  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.  The bark is visibly scorched, and there are some extra bore holes associated with the scorched bark.  My guess is that it allowed boring bugs access to the wood that is normally resistant to bugs. 

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; this process can take years if you leave it in whole-log form but faster once cut into bowl blanks or turned for a first turning.    It was measured at 35 to 40% MC in March, 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 Valentines Day Freeze that Texas suffered in Feburary 2021, which is when our state lost a lot of beautiful trees in an unusally 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.

Dream Interpretation Made Clear
Format: Kindle
This is a great book for someone who is a beginner at learning how to interpret dreams as well as for someone who wants to better understand how to interpret their dreams. For me it is the latter, wanting to better understand how to interpret my dreams. I have known that my dreams are God's way of speaking to me about my life but the question has been was I coming to right interpretation or insight that I needed. Jane Hamon gives full explanations and illustrations of the steps that are needed to clearly and correctly interpret what God is saying to the individual. Some of the steps I have been doing but now I know what others steps I need to take in order to have a clearer understanding. Now I will feel better about my dreams. Thank you Jane Hamon.

Warning: You will want to read the classics after you read this book!
Format: Hardcover
This book beautifully captures what I didn’t realize was possible until I got to college: That the Lord can speak through great literature. When I was younger I largely avoided reading any fiction books because I felt guilty for not reading my Bible (but for some reason my apologetic books were ok? Lol). However, this book seeks to show (and I think accomplishes quite well) that great literature isn’t a hinderance to the Christian life but actually serves to cultivate a deep and thoroughly Christian imagination. Great literature has the capacity to convict you of your sins, to invoke worship and prayer, and to cultivate our desire to live lives of virtue. Great literature is a mirror through which you can examine your own way of life, but it also acts as a lens through which you can see with fresh eyes the world around you. The author presents a lot of helpful practical advice in here too. Like how to know if a book is worth reading, different ways to approach reading books, as well as a thoughtful critique of the bad logic often used in Christian circles to avoid reading great literature. “In a world that tries to convince us that we are computers or animals, that treats us like automatons or worker bees, what better protest than the reading life? If we are to be fully human, we must practice human acts— civility, creativity, contemplation, charity.” All four of these acts are intertwined with reading great books! So let’s get to it!
