Default Re: Mesquite Bear

Thanks, Eddy. The picture shows the wood being honey colored with red highlights. The mesquite is actually somewhat darker than that. Still beautiful, but not so striking as in the picture. Guess I should have played with the color balance a bit before uploading. And now since I've given the piece away, getting another picture might be difficult.
