I heard my neighbour over the fence cutting back his mango tree. Here in north Queensland mango trees are everywhere! I asked him if I could take some of the logs and he agreed. I added it to my wood pile and when I cam back after 2 years it’d been chewed out by bugs and severely rotted. But that gave me a great idea for it!
