Mesquite is ranked as one of the most stable hardwoods in the world along with mahogany and teak. The American Hardwood Association classifies mesquite as replenishable, rare, and exotic. It is harder than oak or maple. Additionally, the wood does not degrade in weather. Mesquite cutting boards can be used in commercial kitchens and washed repeatedly and retain their integrity for a lifetime with no checking, splitting, or warping. Each board is unique and a work of art.  Let us pick a special one just for you!

Kenny Pieper Tall Satellite Series Vase

28” Tall x 10” Diameter Hand-blown glass, Reticello and Primavera Vase.
Tall Satellite Series Vase.
Kenny Pieper’s work combines contemporary design with traditional techniques which creates a striking sculptural vessel. The central element, which resembles black marble, is achieved by utilizing an Italian technique named Primavera and blends beautifully with the complex patterns of Reticello cane work. Reticello is another Italian technique where color rods are picked up, twisted in one direction, and blown in the shape of a cup. A second cup is made with the rods twisted in the opposite direction. Kenny then drops that cup inside the first, which creates tiny bubbles within the diamond shape where the two cups come together.
