Love Mango Wood!
Mango: (Mangifera indica) Having been cultivated for thousands of years on the Indian sub-continent, mangos reached Asia between 5th to 4th century BC.
Cultivated as a fruit tree, the evergreen trees may grow to 35 or 40m tall, & the crown may have a radius of up to 10m. When the tree flowers, the fragrance is similar to Lilly of the Valley. The fruit may take between three to six month to ripen
Hardwood Mango wood trees are usually cut down once the tree has finished producing the best fruit, typically 20 to 25 years old. Trees are replanted and a there is a sustainable cycle.
Thai artisans now create special home decor pieces with this hard wood, as it works easily, polishing it and giving it a unique glossy look

One beautiful example of this wood being used in a contempory way are these gorgeous flat wooden plates. Food-safe, but not dishwasher safe, just rinse with soft soapy cloth & dry.
