Photos from the I'll fated Mt Gravatt back yard mango fiasco.
Way back in 2007, Dia Sensi, TJ, and Soundman mounted an expedition to recover usefull wood from a felled back yard mango tree.
Well TJ came with his slabbing rig and promptly found that chain saws are only partially sucessfull in cutting thru coach bolts, though nails and smallish screws seem to cut marginally better .....slab after slab ....... needless to say much sharpening and coarse language ensued.
Picture of Neil taking a spell in the shade, and several progressive shots of Me free handing some....square stock.Any thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

I spun a bowl up out of some of i quite some time ago, Neil tried a few bits, I don't know hoe far TJ got with any of his.
There where some other guys that took away some of my excess, I baught home two trailer loads.
Neil found a lot of his went mouldy, which in mango does not see to produce interesting colours.
I got into mine straight away with a strong borax solution and a garden sprayer, that seems to have saved a lot of problems.
The tree had been down at least a week before we got to it, and there had been some cutting on the tree prior ..... so there was some mould in the live tree.
Ladies and gentlemen, If you are recovering mango ..... you MUST get some treatment on any and all cut surfaces ...as soon as possible ... within the hour is best Mango is very prone to mould and insect attack ...... my recomendation is a stiff solution of borax in hot water. dipping or spraying till it runs off.
