Using Mesquite for other than knife handles
Don't mean to be OT here, but this is what I've been doing for the past several months. I don't always get to use my mesquite for knife handles, sometimes I have to make a dining or conference table or rocking chair. This one is my 9th of the large Conference type tables. It's going to a museum in Oklahoma. I did have plenty of scraps left over from this project to cook a lot of hamburgers, and make a lot of scales for knives
The project took about 1.5 years. It's approximately one ton of solid mesquite. Specs are 224" long x 60" in width. Now I can get back to some engraving and knife making! Thanks for looking! [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] |

Very nice, Robert!
Q. - How long do you have to let mesquite dry before you can make something like a table? I still kick myself for driving past your place a couple years ago and not stopping in!! Won't make that mistake twice! __________________ God bless Texas! Now let's secede!! |
