[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1383785, member: 18945"] Some friends of mine in San Angelo were cutting and milling mesquite for furniture lumber (there is a market for it) What they found, was that there are some borers of some kind in almost all older mesquite trees and the market for their lumber was well aware of it and accepted it. Said they have built bedframes, tabletops, and other stuff from it and the end buyers reported being able to hear the insects moving around in the furniture at night when the house was quiet. I doubt those 3 guys are still doing it tho. Once turned into usable pieces, mesquite is quite beautiful. I'd hate to have to work with it tho. Some folks are still in that business.
