So much to learn, so little time.....
Great haul!! That's the largest Mesquite I've ever seen without pith checks. Truly... a great haul!! What is Craig's List?

The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close.
And.... I'm located just 1,075 miles SW of Steve Schlumpf.
Congrats, Robert. Don't know if Mesquite is the official wood of Texas but it probably should be.
Also, congrats on what I read as a stealth gloat on a new lathe...1642 2HP! Santa comes early to your part of Texas. I'm guessing you did not get the 3520 we talked about earlier in the year.

Have blanks, will trade.
I love mesquite, and that is as pretty as I have seen.

Straight up 232 and turn left on 413 North...about 20 minutes total. Let's just say I'm not far from Peddler's Village. Professor Dr. SWMBO actually lived in HV before we got together...in a house just north of the college in a ground floor apartment that we fondly called "Spider Land"...for good reason. My ex grew up in HV and graduated from Upper Morland.
Back to the topic, I've never found "mesquite on the hoof" around here and it's unlikely I ever will, but there is plenty of Osage Orange along 232 to feed that itch!

Jeezo Beezo, I've had some Craigslist wood finds - but nothing like that
Congratulations on the score.
