I see lots of mango furniture in the stores now days but I can’t seem to find mango lumber anywhere. Found some highly figured stuff on the internet but no basic lumber. Where can I find it and how much does it cost? Any body have experience working with it? thanks -- Leon -- Houston, TX - " I create all my own designs and it looks like it " |

Machines fine, hell on hand tools since it is so fibrous. Most of it that I’ve seen is fairly figured. The fibers tend to bee like one big knot from my experience hence the crazy grain. I got mine from a woodworker who used to live and work in Hawaii. I’ve never seen it in stores. -- Happy woodworking! |

I’ve got 6-7 pieces waiting for the right projects and most came from an eBay seller in HI that was very good to work with named nameleomoanikeala -- Use the fence Luke |
