Mesquite Bowl Blank M-1140 3.25" x 9" x 11" 9.6 lbs. This is a beautiful and elongated half-log bowl blank of Texas Honey Mesquite. 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 blank is longer than it is wide. You have a lot of options with this blank -- it would make a beautiful winged bowl for example, or perhaps an emergent bowl. 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 does contain some pith in it and has a few cracks developing, despite being well-sealed. Mesquite is fairly dimensionally stable, so the cracks tend not to develop much compared to other woods. For any that are present, I recommend reinforcing them with CA glue prior to turning. This is a GREEN to partially air-dried bowl 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. 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. |

Large, easy to set up
Size: 10 Person
Better than anticipated! Loved the size, the ease with which it was put up, and the height! Not a fan of how the "room divider" divides, but it works. Despite the photos, for some reason I was expecting a little more separation, but you have to go through the first 'room' to access the second. Other tents that I looked at that had 2 rooms had 2 side-by-side entrances. Still, very pleased with the tent overall. Did not get to test the water resistance, luckily, but it does seem like a good, sturdy tent that is easy to put up, even with three 7 year old boys running around the camp site.

Easy set up
Size: 10 Person
The tent was easy to set up. The instructions were easy to understand. It was nice to lay out the tent and clip the poles into place. Easy to set up for one person. All the zippers work and looks to be well made. Hopimg it will.last quote a while. I'm 6'3" and had plenty of space to stand. Lots of room on the inside. Looking forward to using this tent a lot.

No Good
Size: 6 Person
Brand new screen netting on door and windows had small holes thus allowing mosquitoes in. Unfortunately the return window passed but due to weather we just got to try it out last week. Also floor had pin holes first use which I think after several uses will develope bigger holes. Very thin material. Also came with no setup instructions but that was easy to figure out. Like the fast setup that’s it. I may have gotten someone else’s return ???

Highly recommended
Size: 4 Person
This tent y’all!
We are avid campers, to the point that we have multiple tents for different adventures. We ordered this one for a quick weekend getaway and I was thoroughly impressed! We popped it up in seconds when it arrived. Sprayed it down with waterproofing spray, let it dry, and packed it back up with EASE! We have only used it once thus far, so I can’t account for the durability yet, but either way, for the price, I feel like this was definitely worth the purchase!
