Mango
Mangifera indica
The workhorse of the Jaipur handicraft trade — even texture, takes carving, stain and distressing well.
How we supply it
Six forms, one conversation.
Tell us the end use and we will tell you the most sensible way to buy it. Most customers end up mixing two or three of these.
Solid-sawn lumber
Logs sawn to your thickness on our own lines. Random or fixed widths and lengths, green or seasoned.
Seasoned planks
Air-dried in stacked yards or brought down in seasoning chambers to the moisture content your process needs.
Finish & trim boards
Planed and dimensioned boards for visible components — mouldings, trims, tops and frame stock.
Treated timber
Preservative-treated material where end-use, export requirement or climate calls for it.
Squares, legs & blocks
Cut-to-size square stock and blocks for legs, turned components and carved work.
Export-ready parcels
Consolidated, tallied and packed to load a container, with the documentation an importer will ask for.
