Knotty, cracked, and full of character - just what I wanted!

Made a 38" round pub-table using 8/4 boards for glue-up then filled in with gems under clear epoxy to fill the large voids and black epoxy for the small ones. Absolutely beautiful, and harder than hickory. Rated only a 4 because one board was nearly unusable.

Great character

Despite the stressed spots in the wood, it gave my table legs the rough look that I was expecting. I used epoxy to fill in the cracks in the wood to strengthened the wood.

Mesquite 8/4 lumber

Very disappointed in this lumber. Contained major cracks and checks which renders the lumber useless for intended purpose (cutting boards).

We're sorry if it wasn't clear that mesquite does contain a lot of that. Customer service will contact you today about replacing it with a different choice.
