Mango wood characteristics?
So I have been wanting to craft some things with mango wood for a while. For most woods I can atleast find a place that sells blanks and will give you some info on the characteristics as to the grain and finishing characteristics like if it will soak up a bunch of resin or stain and density. I bought a bowl made out of mango and it looks great and the grain does seem a little porous but in some areas it seems really tight and closed...kinda inconsistent. I was wondering if any one has worked with mango wood and what where your experience's with it
