I cant think of an alternative way to contact recreational timber getters, so am asking here.
Does anyone in central Queensland, Australia know where I might find a large log from a Mango tree? This wood has some very unique properties for use by wood turners. I am interested in making items on my lathe from any good timber. I have used Mango before and find it excellent to turn even if it is a little lacking in the beauty dept. though it does have a nice smooth grain with a good lustre to it.
I have seen good, large Mango trees being cut down and chipped into mulch by contractors without any consideration for its value as a desirable timber, such a shame.
I will gladly come and collect the timber, even if the tree is still standing, rather than seeing any more go to waste.
Look forward to any help,
Mkwish
