They have it in stock

-- Gary, DeKalb Texas only 4 miles from the mill

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

LJ Harold might have a line on Mango. He’s from Hawaii. Or Cook’s.
I found Miles’ comment the other day interesting – he has seen projects selling for less than the retail BF cost of some timbers. Perhaps deconstuction of a made object might be cheaper than the wood itself.

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

I obtained about 200 board feet of mango from a single tree in Hawaii. It has been air drying for about 5 years. Most of it is 8/4 boards 6 – 8 ft long, 5 – 8” wide. I would love to sell it as I am going in a different direction in woodworking.

Sophie, that’s quite the long game. OP asked about Mango lumber 8 years ago, so you spent 3 years sourcing the perfect tree and another 5 years drying it out for him? ;)

Out of curiousity, where is the lumber now?

Ha! You never know, there could still be interest…
The lumber is stacked in my garage, with mango stickers (future pen blanks?) between the boards.

where are you located? I am interested

South of San Francisco, CA.

I am just south of Seattle. I little far to come look

I’m in SF and interested. PM sent
