Grain Pattern
Broad, mostly straight-to-interlocked grain with irregular darker streaks; surface appears rough-sawn or weathered. No distinctive figure is evident.
Color & Appearance
Muted golden to medium brown with gray weathering and uneven dark marks; fresh-cut color and sapwood are not visible. Teak typically deepens toward golden brown with exposure.
Hardness (Janka)
1,070 lbf; Medium (teak, approximate).
Durability & Decay Resistance
Durable; teak heartwood has good decay and insect resistance, though this image cannot confirm species or condition.
Value & Age
Roughly US$10–30 per board foot for common, usable teak; grade, dimensions, source, and region cause substantial variation.
AI estimate for general guidance only — not a professional appraisal. Actual value depends on grade, dimensions, condition, and local market demand.
- Wood Age Estimate
- Cannot be reliably estimated from the image; surface weathering alone does not date the timber.
Common Uses
Outdoor and indoor furniture, decking, boatbuilding, cabinetry, and veneer.
Geographic Origin
Native to South and Southeast Asia; grown widely in tropical plantations.
Workability
Generally machines and finishes well, but interlocked grain can tear out; natural oils may complicate gluing, so prepare surfaces freshly.
Finish Recommendations
Clean and sand evenly; use a compatible exterior oil or marine finish outdoors, or sealer and clear coat indoors. Test adhesion on a small area.
Notable Features
Teak is naturally oily and stable, with a characteristic leathery scent when freshly cut; these traits are not confirmable here.
