Looking for a few boards of Mesquite wood in the west Houston area on an upcoming business trip. Directions to sellers or suppliers would be appreciated. Also links to woodworking or woodturning groups in the Houston area would also be appreciated

Clarke Hardwood Lumber and Houston Hardwoods both have mesquite. Bring gold.
The link should have been this one.

Hi Stphen, Although I am not in Houston (about 3.5 hours West), I stock Kiln Dried Mesquite in four grades/price ranges. I am loading my kiln with a fresh batch of wood. If you need something beside 4/4 or 8/4, let me know and I can cut the thicknesses you need while processing the sawlogs. I can ship wood to you if you would like if you don't find something to fit your needs in Houston. I have a price list you can download at

Ya'll have fun in Houston.
Ouch. Information is good, but I was unaware of the local cost for kiln-dried boards, of what I have been thinking of as a ditchweed despite it's attractive finish capabilities. I'd want a couple of short boards anyway for some small furniture type projects.
As an alternative, do you have suggestions on woodturning groups in Houston to go and visit in March?

The Cutting Edge will be hosting a series of woodturning workshops by internationally renowned turner Lyle Jamieson March 19-22, 2005. It is in Southwest Houston. They are really nice folks. For more information go here

Sure Tom. It should be no problem.
