Teak is a pre-eminent tropical timber with sterling wood properties, including rich honey tones, tight grain, and outstanding durability only found in old-growth Asian teak. It has an average wood density of 650 kg/m3, as well as excellent natural durability and dimensional stability. For centuries teak has been widely used for boat and shipbuilding, in addition to construction, decorative veneers, joinery, furniture, cabinets, musical instruments and handicrafts/ woodcarving. As natural teak forests have drastically reduced over the last six decades, using reclaimed teak helps preserve what is left and give new life to a wonderful old resource
