Figured Black Mesquite
Prosopis nigra
A very few pieces of Mesquite are figured with what we call frog's-hair curl, a small, tight curl with as many as 12-15 curls per inch. A very stable wood. Air-dried.
This board does not have one square inch that isn't highly figured. It would be perfect for smaller applications such as knife handles or pistol grips. An absolutely gorgeous example of the "frog's-hair" curl that this species can exhibit. It does have one small natural inclusion on each face.
