Well, the mesquite my lumber supplier finally arrived. This is his first atempt at cutting backs and sides--I think he did a great job. They are oversized for a dread, maybe jumbo too. They are sanded with 100 grit to 3/16". Sorry my photo skills stink, but the figure is amazing, lots of burls and pins. I thought it would be straight grained but, no, its very burly. It was wiped down with mineral spirits to show the grain some. I beleive he said he had 6 more sets cut form teh same log if anyone wants any? He has no idea as to pricing, but I'm not sure on mesquite either. I know you would all like it free, but what would you be willing to pay for such a set if you wanted mesquite? I also have matching headstock plates. ![]() |

Nice looking wood, I would check with Lance or Brock on selling it and get their input. I would be interested in a set to try, don't know how it will bend, keep me posted. Thanks Mike Spencer |

I'm thinking how good some nice big fat Filet Mignon's would be cooked on that stuff... |
