Mesquite Bowl Blank M1172

4 lbs.

Fancy a crotch?  No, that's not a pick-up line.  This is a beautiful and somewhat unusually crotch bowl blank. The crotch is captuerd in the lower half of the blank, with the branch extending out the back side (the bark side).  It's a bit hard to describe, so please see the photos -- there are more than 3 so scroll down to see all. 

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 bowl 6+" in diameter and 4-5" 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 does have 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 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 July 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.

MUST HAVE!!! Dog is obsessed!!!
Color: Aqua
100 PLUS STARS!!! We have a very VERY active pup (6 yrs old 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️)… he has destroyed EVERYTHING we have ever given him. So I ordered this AND the replacement shell. He has chewed the ball extensively but it is in PERFECT shape, no need for the replacement one YET.. I can not rave about this enough - he LOVES it, we love watching him with it and he won’t let it out of his site at all!! If we touch it he gets upset.. so when we charge it, we put the shell back together and give him that.. which reminds me - make sure you have that screwed TIGHT.. somehow he was able to get it apart.. but once we started tightening it he hasn’t been able to.. thinking about it?? GET IT!! You won’t be disappointed and neither will your dog!!

An expensive ball to think about
Color: Aqua
Went with the foam ball because I have hopes that my dogs teeth will sink in enough to be satisfying without having to shred it like a tennis ball. So far, so good. I chose this one because the of the outer shell replacement possibility; assurance that 30 dollars towards a ball would have an extended life option for half the price if needed. It is slightly bigger than a tennis ball and big enough for my dog to be unable to get a strong clench and crush it. He does try though and it's holding up. All of the options and modes are great. However, I wish it acted more of a bait ball. Going through all three of the modes, I can't say any have sparked a wild chase. It will bounce intermittently or once touched. The intervals are long enough to lose my dogs interests. Short intervals make the ball the easy loser every time. Better on hardwood but pathetic on carpet. It will roll but not far or very fast. The only positives from this may be the battery conservation but when he stops playing with it, it is still rolling around the room. I think it takes 20-30 minutes of inactivity for sleep mode. With this, the charge will last about a day of play. It does charge quickly. It has passed the tough chewer test with one who can chew through "tuff" toys in no time but I wish it was more of a challenge. After telling my sister i purchased one, she said she would've given me hers because her dog had lost interest. Go with your hunch and find another game to invest in if you have trepidations of this being this case. I won't deduct anymore stars because the product is as advertised. Only one deducted for the price.

So far so good
Color: Aqua
For the past 2 years I’ve been looking for an interactive ball our dog won’t break within days. I appreciate that it’s all foam, without any ropes or plastic pieces he can chomp on. I don’t let him use it as a chew toy but after catching it he does like to chew on it for a little bit, and it’s held up nicely after a month. Would recommend

if vibration excites your dog then it's okay
Color: Aqua
They're okay bit just basically vibrate. Was hoping they would roll around and their own but just really vibrate so my dogs didn't get much from it.
