    Mesquite with BLO and Wax finish, 5 inch wide 3 inch high.

    thanks for looking

    Great color on that one, Ace. I'd like to turn more mesquite, but it's not exactly "native" to SE PA! The one piece I did turn was great...and you can't beat its stability. Nice job on the bowl...keep up the great work!

    P.S. I should have hoarded some of that mesquite back when I lived in Texas many years ago. Hind site is 20/20.

    awesome mix of finish and unfinished. very zen. GORGEOUS! it's great to see a zen like balance and appreciation for beauty. Applaus for letting the natural be what it is. if all of humanity took this approach topercieving people, this world would be a btter place!
