Mesquite slab tips

Inspect for small cracks that can grow.
Ask about stabilization or epoxy options.
Confirm thickness after flattening.
Let slabs acclimate before finishing.

Kiln load policy

We handle large kiln loads only (2000 bd/ft minimum). Mesquite must air-dry under cover for a few months before kiln scheduling. Wet slabs tie up the kiln longer, raise energy use, and increase checking, so they are accepted only at a premium when schedules allow.
