Teak (Tectona grandis), known as the “luxury yacht of hardwoods,” is renowned for its rich color, natural oils, and exceptional durability. With its dark golden-yellow hue that deepens to a dark brown over time, teak offers unparalleled beauty and low maintenance, making it a top choice for luxurious, long-lasting custom furniture. Commonly called Burma teak, Genuine teak, or Sagwan, this versatile wood is used for furniture, flooring, carving, cabinets, shipbuilding, and marine applications. Teak trees, native to Southeast Asia, grow up to 150 feet tall with clear boles reaching 80-90 feet. With a specific gravity of 0.59 and a Janka hardness rating of 1000 psi, teak combines strength, workability, and weather resistance, performing flawlessly in both interior and exterior applications.
