I drove to my sons house today and he said hey Dad I got a present for ya in the back of my truck. I went out to look and low and behold a nice little piece of Mesquite. It's 44" long and 6 " diameter. I'll cut this one up and get it sealed. I also picked up a little chain saw while I was out today. I know it's only an electric but for preping turning stock it should be all I need. 16" bar and 3 HP peak.

I drove past a place today where they were cutting down a Big Mesquite tree today. I gonna check on it in the morning and see if I can score some more...;)

Don, I'd say you've got that boy trained real good. Have fun with that wood and show us some stuff from it. Oh ya, nothing wrong with that chain saw either.:)

Nice, Don! And I have an 18" electric chain saw I keep around the shop for similar work...and you can use it indoors in the winter, too!

I have a little electric saw, just so long as you keep it sharp it should work good, just cut slow, and donlt bury the tip of the bar in the wood or it might kick back on ya, nice wood, good luck with getting more.

Kids are great aren't they Don? My son called me this afternoon to tell me he has some wood for me too. Said he has a nice piece of walnut some locust and some cedar driftwood. Going to bring it over tomorrow. If I can get my hands on a camera I'll post some pics.
