About Our Products
Made in Texas by Texans
Based in Corpus Christi, TX, Turning South Texas is committed to the design and manufacture of Home Décor Products made from locally sourced, wholly sustainable materials. Our products are ALL made in Texas by Texans.
Honey Mesquite is the most widely available lumber in its native form in this part of Texas and requires certain steps be taken before use. At this time, we are mainly using trees that were felled by Hurricane Harvey. The five-year anniversary of Harvey was celebrated the last week of August 2022. With wood, timing is everything!
While we may have plans for a certain piece of lumber, the lumber sometimes has other things in mind. This is not only challenging at times, but it also allows us to present a product that we can say unequivocally is one of a kind.
Other locally sourced lumbers may include pecan, Texas Ebony (very rare), Magnolia, Cottonwood, Huisache, Beech, Birch and Hackberry. Of course, we’re not above using hardwoods like Cherry and Walnut when they present themselves, they’re just not as much fun as the local stuff.
Please feel free to browse, and if something catches your eye, let us know. If we still have that piece, we can make it all yours. If not, we can make one like it so long as we all agree that we won’t be able to duplicate it exactly.
Mesquite Bowl
With Honey Mesquite being the primary source of lumber used in the manufacture of our products, we find a readily available, very colorful, and totally unique wood that not only allows imaginative and beautiful pieces, but at times a product that goes its own way.
