Wild Mango 8″ x 8″ x 2″ – Air Dried

Wild Mango (Cordyla africana), often known as Mutondo, is a high-quality hardwood found in the dry savanna regions of Africa, notably Mozambique. It is prized for its deep cream-colored heartwood, with charming golden hues. The grain is usually straight but can present attractive variations such as interlocked or wavy patterns, and the wood’s fine, even texture enhances its natural shine.

Valued for its ease of machining, Wild Mango is perfect for a variety of woodworking projects, including furniture, flooring, and turning. Its moderate density and strength also make it suitable for carving and creating musical instruments like traditional African drums. The wood can be polished to a smooth, elegant surface, enhancing its warm, inviting appearance.

Wild Mango is known for its good dimensional stability, impact resistance, and durability. Its strong nature guarantees longevity in many applications, making it a favorite among craftsmen. The wood’s natural resistance to decay and pests further adds to its attractiveness.

Sustainable forestry practices ensure that Wild Mango will remain available for future generations. Its timeless beauty, dependability, and versatility make it a beloved choice among artisans and manufacturers alike.
