Cut to Size / Planed Teak Wood
Teak is a beautiful colour and is generally fine to coarsely grained, of even texture and has a slightly oily feel. Generally yellow/brown to dark golden brown heartwood with greyish or white sapwood is usual.
Although Tectona grandis (teak) can still be found in Myanmar and Thailand, much of it was cut down over many decades due to aggressive commercial exploitation. In recent years industrial plantations of teak are now situated around the world.

How do I finish Ghana Teak?
Ghana Teak can be left unfinished to weather naturally to a silvery-grey color. However, if you prefer to maintain its original golden-brown color, you can apply a teak oil or sealant.
For a high-quality and natural finish, we recommend Rubio Monocoat. It enhances the beauty of the wood while providing excellent protection.
Before applying any finish, be sure to clean the teak thoroughly and allow it to dry completely. Always test the finish on a hidden area first to ensure you're happy with the results.
