Hi Mike,
Don't listen to these guys on helping you to clean your shop of that
Mesquite. I will trade you some nice Mrtlewood, or some fiddleback Maple,
for some of 8/4 mesquite it use for making some NA style flutes.

Anyone use mesquite? I live in Arizona where these trees are pretty
plentiful. I have a friend in the tree trimming business who often comes
across very large sections of this tree. He brought me a few 2 foot
samples
today, just rough chain sawed. I dressed them into some 8/4 stock and
they
really came out beautiful (smelled like popcorn or something while
milling).
I'm just wondering if I've struck it rich here, or if it's just fool's
gold.

Any experience with mesquite??
