Description
Wild Mango (Cordyla africana), also known as Mutondo, is a premium hardwood native to the dry savanna regions of Africa, particularly in countries such as Mozambique. It is celebrated for its deep cream-colored heartwood, often featuring golden undertones. The grain is typically straight but can exhibit beautiful variations such as interlocked or wavy figuring, and the wood’s fine, even texture contributes to its natural luster.
Renowned for its workability, Wild Mango is easy to machine, making it a favorite for woodworking applications such as furniture, flooring, and turning projects. Its moderate density and strength also make it ideal for carving and creating musical instruments like African drums. The wood polishes to a smooth, elegant finish, enhancing its warm, inviting appearance.
Wild Mango offers good dimensional stability, impact resistance, and durability. Its robust nature ensures longevity in various applications, making it a staple among artisans. The wood is known for its natural resistance to decay and pests, further adding to its appeal.
Sustainable forestry practices help maintain its availability for future generations. Its timeless beauty, reliability, and versatility make Wild Mango a favorite among craftsmen and manufacturers alike.
