More About Teak ...................
Trade or Common Name: Teak
Local Name: Jati
Botanical Name: Tectona Grandis
Family: Verbenaceae
Teak Wood Tree: Teak is a very slow growing tree, and in favorable locations may reach 130 to 150 feet in height with clear boles to 80 to 90 feet. The trunks are cylindrical to fluted and may reach 3 to 5 feet in diameter.
Teak Wood: Teak is a beautiful color, golden to dark brown, sometimes reddish brown, with a straight, sometimes wavy grain. Teak is rich in natural oils, is easily worked, and dresses to a very smooth finish. Because of its natural oils, teak is very durable and resistant to moisture and the drying effects of exposure to weather. Teak is unique in that it does not cause rust or corrosion when in contact with metal. When untreated teak furniture is used indoors (as it is in restaurants, office lobbies, shopping centers, etc.), the wood grain evens in tone, becoming and staying a very rich golden brown color.
Teak Wood Uses: Teak is a very valuable wood and is prized throughout the world. It is sought for the decks, trim and detail work in expensive boats, fine furniture, flooring, carving, joinery, cabinetwork, paneling, turnery and veneer.
The nature characteristic of teak is its durability in all weather conditions. Teak has an extremely dense grained hardwood that resists rot, warping, shrinking and swelling. Its high natural oil content continually preserves the wood so it can be left outdoors for decades. Because of the durability of teak in all weather conditions, in the old days, sailors used teak for ship’s decks and benches. The decking on these ships was in such good condition when the ships were about to be scrapped; the wood was recycled and remade into outdoor furniture. Teak is still used for decks and benches today. Teak has numerous other uses as well including recliners on the beach, near the pool, benches at public parks, dining tables at snow resorts and many other. You'll often see these exact items around today- some of which are nearly a century old!
Besides the durability nature, teak furniture is very smooth and does not splinter. The color of teak also stays very neutral in all weather conditions whether its exposed to the sun or subjected to cold winter days throughout the years. Its also has a nice and pleasant aroma that lasts for years and years.
