If using the mango wood (which looks a lot like walnut to me) , I wonder what regionally appropriate locally grown ML might be appropriate to match it too for the fun of it?
I believe that info is in the reply with the wood database screenshots.Curious as to how dense and heavy Mango wood is. Some tropical woods can really get up there!
(I was in Palawan, Philippines years ago and carved a paddle for my Banka boat. I think the wood was Ipil-Ipil (?) or Nara.
It was beautiful but I soon realized, to my dismay, that it sank )
. I do not know if the Spanish ever used it for stocks here because there was / is a multitude of other woods available for stocks, however I hate to see the wood go to waste if it can be used. What are your thoughts on this please. Regards, Dave
