Hand Turned Mesquite Bowl with Purple Resin Inlay

Every piece of Handcrafted Inheritance should have a story. This chunk of mesquite, once destined for the fire pit, wasn't looked at as useful for anything but a few minutes of heat.

We saved it, and turned it into something magnificent. During the process, we uncovered this particular branch had grown around a large nail, probably at least 15-20 years ago. Instead of scrapping the bowl blank, we kept it, and decided to showcase the hole where the nail once lived. This is why the purple resin was chosen; as a color contrast to the warmth of the mesquite wood. This really is a special, one of a kind piece of wooden art, with a touch of history!
