Not bad
next time you're in Sydney Town can you drop them into me?
You look like your wasting them just leaving them in the sun as you're doing!

Indeed Nick. Pretty easy to flat work as well. Maybe some of the figure will tear with a plane, but a scraper will fix that (or a better tuned plane)

Only slabs available are freeform Mango stump ones...full of figure and some crazy shapes..will post some pics tonight if i can...

Did you see my earlier response to wheelin? Copy and paste.

why are there 8 members camped on this thread?

There are many different mango tree species and even a single species can vary due to the soil it grows in. I have mango that is pale as Jacaranda to as dark as red cedar. The majority I have seen is similar to maple in colour, but with blue stain if not treated early.

The colours in the stump had gold,red,pink,green,brown,yellow and orange hues...it varied tremendously throughout..quite amazing!

Hi MM, have you much in the way of blackwood crotch/branch intersections/rootball kinda stuff?

It's a 4WD. It prefers to be outside. And my wife's car stays outside to keep it company.

Mainly to MapleMan....could I have 4 Mango bowl blanks? Size is not critical but say as small as a desert dish to a salad bowl. Just want to have a play and see what comes out.
Can pick up from Tamworth anytime.
