Product Description
The use of mango wood as a raw material in the production of furniture gained popularity fairly recently as a result of two factors. Firstly, the depletion of natural teak stocks in Thailand gave rise to a need for a suitable alternative. Although softer than teak, mango wood was found to be easily carved and painted (or otherwise treated), as well as being attractive in its own right. Mango Wood is native to southern Asia, especially eastern India, Burma, and the Andaman Islands, the mango has been cultivated, praised and even revered in its homeland since Ancient times. Mango Wood comes from the same kind of tree as the popular tropical fruit. It is widespread around South East Asia - including Thailand - with the widest variety of species found in Malaysia. Mango trees can reach a height of up to 80-100 ft with a trunk diameter of around 3 to 4 ft. When a mango tree reaches 20 to 30 years of age the fruits are no longer suitable for commercial use. These older trees are harvested and replaced with young trees in a process that sustains the mango forests and provides indefinite fruit and employment for the mango growers and a continual supply of the very best wood for the craftsmen that produce mango wood products. Responsible management of this valuable resource is good for the environment, good for the economy and maintains valuable green space.
