Our Product Story
Since ancient times teak has been one of the world's most valuable timber tree. Pieces of teak have been found in India over 200 years old and still intact. It is native to India and Malaysia, but is widely cultivated in other tropical areas.
The teak used in Indonesia is "plantation teak." In 1816, the Dutch colonies began planting and harvesting the trees in large plantations. Today, the Indonesian government controls it. Producing teak in this manner helps reduce the harvesting of wild populations.
The teak tree (Tectona grandis) is a tall deciduous tree that can grow to 150 feet in height. It is a moderately hard, immensely stable, easily worked and prized for its durability. Teakwood is superior to all other woods for shipbuilding because it contains an essential oil that resists the action of water and prevents the rusting of iron. Teak is widely used in furniture building too.
