Why We Love It
The Mango tree bears fruit for about 40 years, and is then cut down by farmers to make room for new seedlings. Local artisans use the wood of these felled trees to carve one-of-a-kind pieces. Mango wood has a diverse range of color in its grains, revealed best by the type of carving and cut strokes used in making bowls. The sale of these exceptional pieces supports the local economy and sustainable production of the Mango fruit.
