Mesquite (post #166661)

I have been asked to build a rocking chair (Maloof style) from mesquite. I have made rocking chairs using white oak and also walnut but have never worked with Mesquite.

Are there any pitfalls I should be aware of before I jump into the unknown? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks, DesignerFirewood

Designer, you may want to contact Robert Hensarling for pointers on working with mesquite.
