Description
This production does not have the density and variety of colour found in forest grown stock but does have the same properties. The sample illustrated is forest grown whereas the plantation grown timber is faster grown with more knot defects evident.

Production
: S/E, DIM.

Tectona grandis
Family: Verbenaceae

Distribution: Indigenous to Burma and India and S.E Asia. Introduced into East and West Africa and the Caribbean and Indonesia and now available in plantation grown timber.

General Description: The true Teak of Burma is a medium golden brown colour without markings, but most other teak is rich brown with darker chocolate-brown markings. Indian Teak is wavy grained and mottled but generally straight to wavy grained, coarse textured, uneven, oily to the touch and sometimes with a white glistening deposit. Weight varies from 610-690kg/m3 (38-43lb/ft3), average 650kg/m3 (40lb/ft3); specific gravity .65.

Mechanical Properties
: This hard, medium density wood has medium bending strength, high crushing strength combined with low stiffness and resistance to shock loads. It is fissile and brittle with great dimensional stability; it is fire and acid resistant. Teak can be steam bent to a moderate radius of curvature.

Seasoning: Dries well but rather slowly. Variations in drying rates can ocur in individual pieces. Standing trees are girdled and left to dry out for three years before felling. There is small movement in service.
