Also, steady supply and sustainable growth are great. Mango’s internal structure easily repels water damage (even more if polished!), making it a perfect choice for outdoor furniture.įinally, since the mango is readily available for growth all across many territories of the world (with much of the lumber available from older trees that are no longer producing popular Mango fruit, which is regarded as the national fruit of India), the price of mango lumber on the worldwide market is kept on very reasonable and stable levels. While mango is not usually as resistant to the air as some other types of exotic hardwoods, it has excellent durability in water. Sapwood and an outer layer of wood are also susceptible to the growth of fungi and spalting, which causes additional changes in colors and spreads the black patterns in the grain. This color scheme makes mango wood very visually appealing. The color of mango wood is most often golden brown, although there are also variations with a more yellow tint or featuring black or pink streaks across its surface. In addition to polishing, mango wood is also friendly to waxing and staining, making it excellent for creating furniture or other household objects. The fiber grains are packed so close to one another that the surface can receive a very high level of polish that gives out a satisfying level of polish, similar to many other exotic types of wood. It can easily be cut and re-shaped into any form the woodworker desires, which is not the case with other hardwoods. Mango’s hardwood consists of very dense grain that is durable, strong, and not too hard on tools during woodworking. While Mango is not a record holder in its native ability to remain trouble-free after a long period, modern wood processing manufacturers are managing to enhance its durability with a finishing coating that can transform Mango into a truly durable kind of wood that is perfect for household furniture, including heavy-duty objects such as tables, beds, beams, and arches. As with many other types of woods, Mango wood will slowly get darker with age. The fascinating texture of mango gives this wood a special appeal, with colors ranging from dark tones to light brown, sometimes with a hint of pink. These capabilities have made it suitable for producing various household objects, ranging from doors and flooring to beds, tables, drawers and other furniture. Mango wood is categorized as hardwood because of its strength, density, attractive looks, and durability that allows it not to wear out quickly and keep its high luster texture for many years. Mango can be grown only in the southernmost states of the United States. The mango tree itself is not listed as threatened or vulnerable because today, this tree can not only be found in southern Asia (and especially India, where this tree is widespread) but also in several other countries around the world where the dry and hot climate fits the needs of this incredible tree. It has allowed several types of trees to rebound and grow back to the size they landed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Since the population of the Mango tree can be more quickly replenished than those of teak and several other tree types listed as vulnerable or near extinction, this wood has become a viable alternative. The third reason Mango wood experienced growth in worldwide use is that many of its core and visual characteristics are similar to the popular teak. It can be sent to final processing almost immediately after cutting into construction material or furniture moments after being cut from the ground. The second benefit is that after harvesting, mango heartwood does not require extensive processing, seasoning, and drying. Mango trees can grow to the state of commercial lumber exploitation in just seven to fifteen years.

While its wood is considered to be of moderate quality, one of the significant benefits of its production can be found in the speed of growth.

There are several reasons why the Mango tree is experiencing a big boom in lumber exploitation.
