I don't remember ever seeing any large enough to turn when I was clearing fence lines 25 years ago, but then I was not looking for turning wood then. Usually it is only "brush" and my memory is about 2" would have been large. If you get some, give it a try. I was surprised at the quality of Huisache and just got some Mimosa that again is surprising.

Thanks Jerry. I checked it out and looks a lot like I expected. Just received a piece.
