Texas Mesquite….once a reliable source of food and shelter for American Indians…. is used by Terry Lankford to create beautiful pieces of custom Mesquite furniture, lamps and custom fireplace mantels. Located in Abilene, Texas, Terry works diligently to achieve the finest crafted piece that each mesquite log has to offer. Mesquite is known for its rich auburn color, highly figured grain and character patterns that over time ages to a distinctive patina.

Mesquite lumber is perfect for almost any woodworking project. Not only is mesquite harder than most hardwoods (2.5 times harder than oak), it is also the most dimensionally stable commercial hardwood available.

Mesquite lumber can add beauty and value to your fine woodworking project. Aside from its beauty, mesquite hardwood is the most dimensionally stable wood available. This means that there will be fewer expansion and contraction problems in your table tops and other woodworking projects when humidity levels change.
