Mesquite Block M-1040 4.4" x 6" x 6.2" 6.5 lbs. This is a 6" bowl blank, over 4" tall. The colors are the reddish brown of mesquite heartwood. The grain is swirling and quite burly. There are burl bud clusters throughout the block. This is an exceptional block. Best suited for an experienced turner. The mesquite tree this wood came from was stressed during growth, likely from the wind storms and hurricanes that visit Texas. These growth-related cracks are open and slightly spalted (they stand out with a dark contrast to the matrix). These will be beautiful features in a finished turning and may require stabilization. One of the cracks is very open, with a vug that looks to be at least 6" long and with a >1" cavity. With care, you can keep this as an open feature, or alternately, it would be a good decorative epoxy candidate. This block is a beauty, and I've taken lots of photos for you. Please scroll down in the photos to see all of them. The color variations in the photos are all my fault, the block is beautiful and rich red-brown throughout. |

Essential To Read Before the Class
Format: Paperback
This book provides a good overview of what you'll need to know for your AMGA Single Pitch Instructor (SPI) course and assessment. If you plan to take that course this book is a no-brainer. You just have to buy it and read it.
There are a few shortcomings:
* The photos of how to tie the knots skip a lot and it is impossible to learn the knots from the book.
* The photos of what not to do should be clearly labeled with a red cross bar or WRONG overlay on the photo. If you flip causally through the book and look at the photos some very wrong stuff is there and you have to read the text to know that it is not recommended.
* The religious debate on anchor systems rages on. Should you set up a Joshua Tree System with Tether or a Backside System? I realize the AMGA doesn't want to pick sides and will say either is acceptable, but the book doesn't even try to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various anchor systems.

over all good book, quality pictures
Format: Paperback
this book will get you ready for the course, but there is a lot to learn outside of the book as well. Training and time is the only way to become truly proficient at the skills out lined in this book. over all good book, quality pictures.

Great for semi-experienced looking to build on knowledge.
Format: Paperback
Fantastic instructional manual if you already have some basic knowledge of anchors, ropework and climbing technique. It is written as an instructional manual for climbers looking to turn into guides so if you're brand new this probably isn't the best option for you.
