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.
Kensington Pride or 'Bowen' mangoes have the unfortunate attribute of producing a lot of sap at harvest. This sap can be extremely damaging to the skin of the mango, and in severe cases, can make the fruit totally unsaleable. In less severe cases, the fruit is left with an unsightly blemish (usually near the stem end) which is commonly mistaken by consumers as a fruit rot.
