About Mango Wood

Mango Wood (Mangifera indica) is a medium-hardness wood balancing workability and wear resistance, with a Janka hardness of 560 lbf (2491 N) and a density of about 0.51 g/cm³. It originates from india and south asia.

With radial shrinkage of 3.6% and tangential shrinkage of 6% (a T/R ratio of 1.67), it is very stable in service, with low risk of cupping or distortion. Its fiber saturation point is around 28%, below which the wood begins to shrink and move as it dries.
