Thank you Nelson for being a friend, we appreciate your kind words. Mesquite is known for being a very hard wood and is still being used to build fencing and corrals in Mexico and some parts of the U.S. But it is also know for really making fine furniture like chairs, dinning tables Etc. It has a beautiful wood grain and patterns. It makes for great charcoal wood for BBQing and cooking where fire wood is still being used.

[@southtexashay777]

It defanatly was a hugh tree. She will make some nice wood projects and live on.

[@bufforpingtonlife]

That's a big tree!!

[@southtexashay777]

It sure was. I got a 36 inch saw mill kit from Linn Lumber I need to build. Solid sawmill kits.

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

That sure has a darker color to it.

[@southtexashay777]

Gary thay have excellent wood colors and wood grains the swirls in the patterns. Deep rich wood colors .

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Stihl are the best! Hopefully it lasts for you! Unfortunately the farm version of any saw brand, aren't the best, but some people have good luck with them. Nice tree, should mill nicely 👍😁

[@southtexashay777]

Thank you Ed. I was being conservative, I dont use the saws much but needed a new one. The last saw I has was a 20 inch craftsmen that I has for 18 years and some one stole it from my front porch last year. Hope to get some nice slabs. Thank you Ed., have great day!!

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

@@southtexashay777 don't blame you a bit.. they're still decent saws..

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Good morning Louie. That is a pretty good sized tree. We had a massive white oak go down in a windstorm. I counted the froth rings and that tree would have been a sapling even before the civil war. Such a shame to lose such a beautiful tree. Especially one that had Stood there for generations What will you make out of that?

[@southtexashay777]

We will let it sit for about two years to dry out some. Cut into 2-2.5 inch slabs and make tables ETC. Yes this tree was a solid old mesquite, down here people chop them up for BBQ wood. We will make somthing that will have a story and people will have for generations. My mother turned 93 yesturday and were all got together at her home. She had a cutting board on here kitchen table made of white oak. I made that cutting board when I was in Cub scout 54 years back. It's here daily cutting board and has some wear and tear on it. I told my brothers and sister I had made it and my mother remembered. My mother was part of the club helpers at the time!!!
