Hey man, I’m not sure where you’re located, but I get Mesquite all the time and I feel like while it’s definitely a different type of wood, you might have better luck with thicker pieces. I love the video and just wanted to point out that if you snuck up on the final dimensions instead of planing them down to spec on the first set of passes, you might have an easier time with warpage. I wish you the best of luck as Mesquite is my next venture so Godspeed to both of us

Seems brittle when dry. I have seen small Mesquite articles turned and bored which appear to hold up, appearing similar to walnut. It seems that lumber cuts behave a little differently. Your samples may not be typical because of the uncontrolled conditions of their drying. It has a nice appearance. As a tabletop, maybe thicker cuts or (for that style of fabrication) epoxy polymer resin casting might go well.

I agree with you. It’s very brittle when dried in thin cuts. I feel that it would be best utilized as a 2 inch or thicker material for controlling the fibers reaction and creating stronger finished pieces. It is beautiful wood though

By your own admission the wood was thrown away due to it being poor quality for furniture, another words scrap. Doing what you did should have no ill affect on the properties, qualities, and workability of mesquite. Mesquite is unique in itself, weather such as rain and now has little effct on it. The board you show are pink in color which tells me there is little oxidation / greyness . Mesquite by nature has stress cracks in it, there is no way around it. Mesquite is a very stable wood and does not check and warp as it drys. Its one of the few woods that you can cut green and work with it with a high MC. It can also be full of holes caused by ants and beetles. You have to to mill large pieces to get defect free lumber. Also mesquite does noy grow straight. Trees tend to be very crooked and twisted snd the smaller limbs have thorns thst will hurt you and challenge the sawer when making lumber. Good luck in your future making furniture.

Sorry you feel that way. I wasn’t paid for the product review and recommended in this video. I just personally liked the tools enough to feature them. This channel is not sponsored by and companies. Any of the ads, are KZitem’s doing, and I revive no income from the ad plays.
