Wild Mango Bowl Blank

Wild mango is a light to medium brown hardwood, often showing warm golden or slightly olive tones with subtle grain variation. It has a natural, understated appearance that works well for both simple and characterful turned pieces. It turns nicely on the lathe with sharp tools, producing clean cuts and a smooth surface — a good all-round timber that sands easily and takes oil and wax finishes well.
