This just arrived via Pony Express and was totally unexpected. Very very cool!
It's a piece of Mesquite about 6" by 12" and the growth rings are about 40 per inch.
George - your note didn't mention how long ago the piece was harvested. With the sealed end grain it's hard to fathom a guess. Any chance you recall that factoid?
Thanks, buddy. Looks like I owe you a bowl of Elberta Peach.
