How about some mesquite flatwork! (large pics)

[MesquiteMan]

Here is a set of mesquite cabinets I just completed for the study in our home. I have a Timberking 1220 sawmill so all of the lumber came from trees that I salvaged from a road construction project, milled on my mill, and processed in my shop!

For those who may have never seen mesquite flatwork...Mesquite is notorious for being full of cracks and other "character". Most of us who do flatwork with it actually like and prefer the "character". We simply fill the cracks with resin and keep on working!

Anwyay, the top is bookmatched from 3 pieces and the finish is satin lacquer. Sorry about the less than perfect pics but I could not seem to get them in my small photo tent!

Great job Curtis. I love the figure in the top pieces and the book matching is a great touch.
