Mesquite Block M-1144
2" x 2" x 24"
2.8 lbs.

This is a hefty  2" x 2" Mesquite spindle.  The overall color is the warm reddish brown of Mesquite heartwood.  We've cut a number of these spindles, and the grain pattern and characteristics vary from piece to piece.  We take photos of each individual piece, so please look carefully to inspect the piece you are choosing.  Mesquite characteristically has wavy grain with occasional knots. 

Some of these pieces will have cracks, either ones that formed during growth (age-blackened) or during processing -- you can treat these with CA glue or fill with epoxy.  Or you can cross-cut the spindles to avoid them entirely.  There are also patches of bark and wane on some of these spindles, so please review to make sure you are OK with any complexity.  The bark is beautiful and can be preserved in the finished turning, if you wish -- best to secure it with CA glue. Some of these pieces have scuff marks from our sawblades or a bit of surface discoloration (Anchor Seal) that will sand or turn off as you work the piece.

This is a GREEN to partially air-dried blank, meaning that it still retains a lot 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 25% MC in May 2022. If you need a current moisture content, please message us and we'll check its status for you.

We take more than 3 photos of each piece, so please scroll down through the pictures to see all of them.  You can enlarge and zoom in on these photos, if you'd like to really see the grain.  Mesquite is beautiful wood, and we are sure you will enjoy it!


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.

Best WDT Tool Every Espresso Lover Needs
This tool is so easy to use. It comes with a handy holder you can stick on the side of your machine and even replacement needles for the tool itself. I’ve had the tool for over a year now have not had to replace any of the needles! The 3M adhesive on the back of the holder is amazing quality. It won’t come off your machine. The tool itself helps take out the guesswork with your espresso shot, making sure the grounds are evenly distributed before you tamp.

Very nice but no replacement needles?!?!
The tool looks and feels great. It is very well crafted and packaged. The mount works well (both magnetic and tape). I would rate 5 stars except that it did NOT come with the replacement needles specifically called out in the description.

Good value
I like how it comes with the magnet mount as well as a sticky backed metal piece to use. It has a nice weight to it too, it doesn’t feel cheap.

Get this for your coffee bar
Perfect for your grounded coffee. I attached this to my ninja machine, and this was so good. It is out available for next use. No problems with it falling down.

High Quality
This tool has very nice weight (all metal) and very nice machined finish. Feels very premium without the premium price. Well thought out with the magnetic base or 3m double sided tape included. Nice that they included replacement needles. Would definitely buy again.
