Nice work and fantastic wood too. It looks like mother-of-pearl. I think there must have been some minerals in that wood to cause sparks.

Thank y’all for the compliments, it probably was minerals. The land around here is old blow sand with lots of iron ore. Mesquite is a beautiful wood and I will be turning more of it because it’s everywhere around here .

look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, no it's a big hunk of the bowl I was turning.

This is a beautiful piece. Mesquite is a great turning wood, and your urn used it very well.
