Mesquite Bowl Blank M1170
2" x 5.5" x 6"
1.6 lbs.

This is a beautiful, PETITE! half-log bowl blank of Texas Honey Mesquite.  Perfect for a shallow bowl, perhaps a natural-edge winged bowl.  The overall color is the deep reddish brown of Mesquite heartwood surrounded by a thin band of yellow sapwood, with a complete and well-attached dark brown bark on the backside. 

This half-log bowl blank should be suitable for a shallow bowl 5-6" in diameter and up to 2" deep. With the bark on the backside, you have the option of turning a conventional bowl or a "barky" natural-edge bowl. However, if you want a full bark edge on the "natural" rim, you will need to secure the bark with CA glue before and possibly during turning.

This is a classic half-log blank, split through the center of the log. It has a bit of pith and some cracks that you will want to stabilize with CA glue. There are some pretty grain features that you may be able to highlight in the turning -- a tiny encased juvenile branch and some burl buds.

This is a GREEN to partially air-dried bowl blank, meaning that it still retains some of its original moisture from when it was a living tree.  It has been well-sealed with Anchor Seal and is in the process of slowly drying.   It was heat-treated to kill off any hungry critters that may have been burrowing inside.   It was measured at 20% MC in July 2022. If you need a current moisture content, please message us and we'll check its status for you.

About the Tree

This Texas-grown Honey Mesquite tree was harvested in El Campo, Texas in March of 2022.  It was cut down by the city for reasons unknown to us, and we were happy to help save the tree from a burn pile.  It is possible that this tree was damaged by the Valentine's Day Freeze that Texas suffered in February 2021, which is when our state lost a lot of beautiful trees in an unusually deep and long freeze.

You can feel good about this American-grown hardwood being responsibly harvested and turned into beautiful art by YOU.  The tree was in healthy growing condition, with a minimum of bug damage and a nice healthy girth to the trunk.  There is some minor evidence of fire damage, perhaps from a campfire, near the base of the tree on one side.   It may have been in a fairly protected area such as a city park, as the Mesquite is less twisted and gnarly than trees grown in open pastures.  The grain looks generally long and straight and of excellent quality for green or dried turning.

READ THIS AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER NOW!!!
33% of Americans are verging on type 2 diabetes and do not know it. This should make you run to get this book! Following Glucose goddess on Instagram and got her book as well. It is easy to read, with fun illustrations by the author. She has truly helped me so much with my insulin resistance and managing my glucose spikes. "Lifestyle optimization" is an essential for everyone. Why wait until you are diagnosed? These hacks are simple, fun, and super easy. Her audiobook is also out now and is read by the author!! Which is awesome. What makes this book even MORE useful though, is if you invest in a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and have the app. I had the Freestyle Libre sensor. Each sensor lasts 2 weeks on the skin and logs your real-time glucose levels 24/7. Way better than doing the old fashioned painful and wasteful lancet and test strips. Although you can verify your CGM occasionally using the lancet, and see how accurate the CGM is. You can have a CGM prescription written for you if you INSIST at your nurse practitioner's. (NPs are WAY more open to this kind of experimentation and self-monitoring...I got the rebuff from the doctor, HA!) What is so sad is that the healthcare system is so broken that insurance will NOT cover a CGM UNTIL you have full-blown type 2 diabetes and are dependent on exogenous insulin delivery. OR if you are a type 1 diabetic and born without the ability to process glucose. Sad huh? The FDA wants you sick, fat, ugly, and miserable. We are MUCH better desperate customers then...willing and eager to take any pills to solve the problems! Let's not be proactive and encourage the PATIENT to take measures against type 2 diabetes, right? So there are MANY benefits of managing glucose. Fairly effortless weight loss actually. In this book she dives into nutrition science and the biochemistry of different sugars as well. She has so much credibility and science-driven data backed up by her own personal journey as well as many peer-reviewed articles. Thank you Jessie!

Really Good Book & Inspired Me to Take Action
Format: Hardcover
After I finished reading the book, I asked my doctor for a Continuous Glucose Monitor. For two weeks, I reduced my carb & sugar intake & was able to keep my glucose in the "steady" range. Then, I ate an oatmeal cookie without pre-eating any fiber or protein. BIG SPIKE! One cookie sent my glucose soaring. I can't even imagine what happens to my body when I eat 1/2 pound of candy. This book was written in a very understandable way & it inspired me to start tracking my glucose levels. I recommend reading this book. And there is definitely something about seeing the effect on your body when you eat sugar by using a CGM. It's an almost immediate visual telling you that you're inflicting damage on yourself. When you don't see it, you can pretend it's not really happening. When I saw that spike, I imagined my poor body trying to release all that insulin to remove sugar from my blood.

Great Book to Understand How Diet Impacts Blook Sugar and Health
Format: Hardcover
Life changing book that helped me understand how sugar and processed foods impacted my health. I verified the tips in this book with my own blood glucose monitor. The tips that she shared helped me reduce my glucose spikes and helped me enjoy a little snack from time to time.
