Little wormy mesquite HF

[Ernie Nyvall]

This was a cutoff of a mesquite root ball. You can't really see the wood for the worm holes, but up close, it's loaded with figure. This stuff is the darkest mesquite I've seen and where the pith runs through it, it's almost black. It's 4 3/4 x 4 1/2... antique oil and buffed. Critiques welcome.

Sweeet ... Wild lookin wood.

[Mike Vickery]

That is a beauty I love it.

I am not sure if you have it in Texas, but I know here in AZ we have a Chilean Mesquite that is much darker in color then the Honey Mesquites or Velvet mesquites.

Now that's the way Mesquite is supposed to look!! Great job Ernie! Beautiful!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Beautiful work Ernie! Great looking wood, form and finish! Amazed you managed to hold it together!

[George Guadiane]

I really like "compromised" wood turnings. I think they are beautiful, in general, kind of "rustic" or "ancient." Yours is pleasing, in every way!

[Glenn Hodges]

Ernie, I like the wood and what you did with it.

[Jim Becker]

Ooh...I like that one, Ernie!!

[Bob Hallowell]
