Joe, your draw is :
I cut some of the mesquite Saturday. I have several crotches that may make good blanks, and one chunk about 10" square by about 14" long.I left them as the chainsaw cut them, so they're rough, but sealed with the wax emulsion. The grain doesn't stand out, but you can see it through the saw marks. I wouldn't call them spectacular (like a burl), but they are interesting. (See Pic) From Greg Crawford

Joe, you may keep this wood or steal from the previous blanks revealed. Tell us what you want to do. (Stealing means you can switch your draw for anyone elses that has been revealed. Once a drawn blank has been stolen 3 times it can not be stolen again.)

OK, I'll take the mesquite.
It would be helpful if you posted the number of times a wood has been stolen, say, by the link to the picture. Then guys could get an idea of how safe it would be to steal a piece.
Thanks,
Joe
