I am looking for enough good mesquite to build a dining room table. Do
any of you know or have a suggestion as to where to get some in the SA

if necessary.


How about Steve Turner?




YES Steve Tunrer too. !!!!!!


You know, sometimes I just hear a little bird calling my name! I don't have
the time to browse this group very much any more, and it's probably been a good
month or more since I've popped in here, so it's pretty weird that I stumbled
in here only a day or two after you guys asked about me...

Leon, you might try these guys:

http://www.mesquitefurnitureoftexas.com/

They are regular attendees of the Mesquite Festival in Fredericksburg. They
seem to have pretty good sources for obtaining Mesquite logs for milling, and
my buddies and I have been to their place in Sequin and have bought lumber from
them. They didn't have an overabundance of lumber on-hand at the time we
visited, but if you give them some lead time I think they can fill the request.
If not, they can probably direct you to somebody who can.

The only other place I've dealt with for Mesquite was the mill in Smithville,
but they got decimated by the wildfires in Bastrop (last year was it?) and
cashed in their chips. :-(
