With something like this?

Would you mill it for slabs?

How about your turners out there, cut it up and make some live edge bowls?

Or chop it up and get ready for some flavorable grilling?

Note: I am not the seller. Just saw it on CL and wanted to see what you guys could do with something like this.

I'd process it and see what the blanks look like. It's the nature of mesquite to have cracks, void, inclusions and etc-- that's what makes it FUN to turn. Very forgiving wood. Doesn't matter much If turned green, warpage not an issue unless you go thin.
To me-- a waste if just burnt.
