Tectona Grandis or Teak wood, has a special and rare combination of superior physical and mechanical properties which makes this wood an ideal timber. With no parallel from any other tree species.
Teak wood has a medium density and hardness grade. The heartwood has often a red or yellow color and sometimes is greenish specially when it's freshly cut. After exposure, it turns into a golden brown.
The grain is quite straight or/and is wavy with an irregular texture. When touched, the wood feels oily and when it's freshly cut it has a leather suggestive smell.
Teak wood has been classified as a very resistant wood and because of its resistance, it has been used in the manufacture of boat deck and outdoor furniture. This wood is an excellent timber for structures building like bridges and other structures who are in constant contact with water just like maritime docks, quays, piers and floodgates in fresh waters.
In the world of house Building, Teak wood is quite suitable for interior and exterior joinery like windows frame, solid panel doors and generic framing. It is also used in flooring when it's exposed to a moderate light and with low pedestrian traffic. It's used quite extensively for exterior furniture due to his water resistance. It is not very elastic though and therefore less suitable for pieces who require high resiliency, like tool handles and sporting articles. It has an high chemical resistance which makes this wood perfect for laboratory and kitchen tables. Its grains are well figured, producing a beautiful veneer, which is largely used in the manufacture of furniture and interior fittings.
Teak wood is an extremely strong and durable wood, saws fairly and seasons well. From an export perspective, Teak wood is recommended for ship decking and a generic constructional work in boat building. In Indonesia, this wood is, economically, the most important timber tree specie.
This wood was also used as a medicine for numerous conditions like headaches, swellings and dermatitis. Its bark was used as an astringent but also as an hair tonic.
In Java island the use of teak wood by-products is large like its sawdust, used as incense.
