Workability: Natural oils can interfere with gluing — surface preparation is important. Otherwise easy to work. Finishes beautifully with oil or lacquer. The natural teak oil provides inherent moisture resistance.
Availability: Available from plantation-grown sources in Southeast Asia and Africa. Old-growth Burma Teak is restricted. Plantation Teak is readily available and FSC-certified options exist.
Grain Texture: Straight ribbon-stripe grain from quarter-slicing. Medium texture with a natural oily luster. The quarter cut minimizes the wild cathedral pattern and maximizes the elegant stripe figure.
Characteristics: Teak sliced on the quarter to reveal a straight, ribbon-stripe figure with the characteristic golden-brown color Teak is known for. Quarter-slicing produces a more uniform, linear appearance compared to flat-cut Teak. Natural oils give it exceptional durability and a warm, oily feel.
Scientific Name: Tectona grandis
Price Description: Mid-to-premium pricing. Plantation Teak is more affordable than old-growth.
