So I liked that mesquite enough to pick up another branch today. I also grabbed a round branch that had some very thin bark. I rounded it on the lathe to see what it looked like. Doesn't look like mesquite for sure. It also has a grainy feel to it. Can anyone guess what it might be. These are combined with all the other grated down trees on the lease road. I went ahead and drilled it out for a slimline just for curiosity. It's the round one next to the mesquite blanks I was able to salvage out of the other branch.
