Maunakea St., Stall 155. By Craig T. Kojima, Star- Bulletin Mango clock, by David K.Y. Chung, shows the color and grain of this unusual wood. It dries and cuts interestingly . . . Wood from the base of the tree or where the branches originate will have a lot more figure and interesting grain patterns. We've seen a slow but steady increase in mango as a popular local exotic.
Mango wood is yellow, sometimes with orange or green streaks.
It's a light wood, and it contrasts nicely with koa. It's also a very LOUD wood, with lots of colors in it.
