Mango wood is a hard and dense wood and is excellent for making furniture, provided it is properly seasoned in salt water and kiln dried. It is greenish-brown or yellowish in colour, coarse-textured, medium-strong, hard, durable in water, easy to work with and finishes well.
Mango is sold in board and slab form, as well as craft and instrument blanks. Prices for unfigured boards are in the moderate range for an imported lumber, and it is usually less expensive than Koa, another popular Hawaiian hardwood.
