Mesquite Block M-1122
2.8" x 2.8" x 14.2"
4.3 lbs.

This is a pretty block of rough-sawn Texas Honey Mesquite.  The block is almost entirely Mesquite heartwood, a deep reddish-brown with a warm glow.  One face has sapwood along it, accounting for less than 5% of the block volume.  It will turn off entirely when bringing the block to round.

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 was heat-treated to kill off any hungry critters that may have been burrowing inside.   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.

You'll see some tool lines on the surface of the block from milling.  These will turn or sand right off.  There are also some open cracks at the ends of the blank.  These will need to be secured with CA glue prior to turning.  Also a few open vugs and borer holes, which are characteristic of Mesquite.  I've taken lots of photos of this piece; scroll down below the first 3 to see all of them. 


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.

her eyes focused on it like laser beams and I could see the bloodlust in ...
I have bought all sorts of toys for my VIzsla, but nothing has made her more crazy than this rabbit. I have bought her stuffed mallard ducks, kong toys, fluffy sheep and all manner of hard, soft, stringy and other toy - but when I first pulled this rabbit out of the shipping box, her eyes focused on it like laser beams and I could see the bloodlust in her soul. The rabbit's head was barely clear of the cardboard box when Rosie was lunging at it. I'm tall and she had no hope of getting it, but she bounced off my thighs and made another jump in anticipation of the rabbit coming lower. She was of single purpose and nothing was going to stop her - this rabbit needed to be killed. It was hard to even throw it for her, because each time I moved my arm to swing it, she lunged for it... I had to go with the overhand throw, and she still leaped to pluck it from the air as it sailed a good three feet above her head. When it bounced along the ground, she was on it in an instant. The rabbit has squeakers in all four of its paws (and its head) and a "grunt" type of noisemaker in its body. It started grunting and squeaking at the same time as Rosie began her bloody work. I had to keep telling her to calm down so that my $15 investment would get me at least a dollar a minute of viewing pleasure watching my pooch eviscerate the thing. I managed to distract her by pointing outside and saying "whassat?!?!?" and as she looked for a moment, I snatched it from under her jaws, only to hear the crisp clack of her teeth as she made a last desperate attempt on the rabbit's ear as it vanished around the corner of the couch. I have bought two of these rabbits. I sort of wish I had Jeff Bezos money. I would buy a hundred of them and make a ball pit for Rosie, but made from these rabbits, then I would record the results and upload it to YouTube as my submission for the definition of bliss. I'm sure you are getting the idea... dogs go NUTS for this thing. I think it's a combination of the numerous squeakers, the type of squeakers (especially the grunty one), the crackly material in the ears, the softness of the rabbit, the coloration of the fur that looks so real and lifelife, the innocent look on this thing's face that lets dogs know they can just go full Ghenghis Khan on this thing with reckless abandon. The only downside is it doesn't last. Not if your dog has the heart of a warrior. I am sure some day Rosie will develop some chill... now she has no chill and the Colossal RABBIT is her plaything. In the future I'll get her another and maybe she'll lay her head on it to sleep. But it sure is fun watching my little girl act like I used to when I was 8 years old and got that present I didn't think I was going to get (but hoped beyond hope I would) at christmas time. It's worth the price to see a puppy going full-puppy on this thing. Hats off to the people who designed it - it's effect on dogs is like wearing a Palpatine Imperial Guard outfit, dousing yourself in heifer pheromones and walking up to the angriest bull you can find while he's eating dinner and punching him as hard as you can in the gonads. That's how dogs react to this rabbit. It's divine.

I love it too - it is adorable and so high ...
My dog loves this thing! It is quite large (15 inch model) and it has SO MANY SQUEAKERS. There is a squeaker in each paw, one squeaker in the belly that makes a grunting sound, that crumply sounding stuff in the ears, and a squeaker in the head! My 70lb mixed breed dog usually tears apart soft stuffed toys, but he's had this one for months and hasn't even attempted it. That's not to say I don't think he could tear this apart, he simply has chosen not to for whatever reason. He just loves his bunny. I love it too - it is adorable and so high quality. If it weren't for the squeakers, I would think it was intended for a human child. This is one of those rare items I would purchase again and again, though it doesn't look like I'll have to. UPDATE: After four months, it was ME who ripped this toy! I pulled one of the ears while my dog had it in his mouth and the seam ripped. Amazingly, my dog didn't seize upon that as an opportunity to tear it apart. Ordinarily, if one of his toys tears he goes straight for the stuffing (usually it's HIM that tears them open). I just ordered a new one - not because there's anything wrong with the first one, but because it's lasted so long that it's totally gross and now needs to live outside and I had a coupon for amazon so I figured, why not? I still love this toy. I go to Jolly and JW Pet Company for all of my tough rubber and plastic dog toys, but for stuffies this is a perennial favorite.

Abbie Gives It Four-Paws Up !
My Flatcoat Retriever has been collecting stuffed animal friends for almost eleven years now. She never destroys them---tends to cuddle or wrestle with them. She likes to give them a good shake. She never disembowels them. This has turned out to be one of her favorites, if not THE favorite. Not only is it much more lifelike-looking than most stuffed animals, it is life-sized. Best of all, while the paws have squeakers, if the chest cavity is compressed, it emits a low guttural sound, making it again, the most lifelike stuffed animal I have come across. It sounds like a pig feeding...like grunting, which is cool and creepy all at once. Very sturdy. Lots of fun. You can spend less, but not for an animal that is going to get this much attention. Great toy.
