Grain Pattern
Mostly straight to slightly irregular grain with a coarse texture; the cabinet panels show no distinctive figure. End grain is not visible.
Color & Appearance
Warm golden to medium brown with darker streaks; the finish and lighting obscure natural color. Teak typically darkens with age and exposure.
Hardness (Janka)
1,070 lbf — Medium (reported Janka value for teak).
Durability & Decay Resistance
Durable; teak heartwood resists decay and many insects, though the sample’s species and heartwood content are unconfirmed.
Value & Age
Highly variable; roughly US$10–$30+ per board foot for new teak, depending on grade and source. Finished cabinetry cannot be valued from the image alone.
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 estimated reliably from this photo; the finish and ordinary wear do not establish the wood’s age.
Common Uses
Cabinetry, furniture, flooring, boatbuilding, and exterior joinery.
Geographic Origin
Native to South and Southeast Asia; also plantation-grown in tropical regions.
Workability
Generally machines and finishes well, but silica can dull cutting edges; predrilling is useful near edges and fasteners.
Finish Recommendations
Clean and lightly sand before applying compatible clear varnish or polyurethane; test adhesion because teak’s natural oils may affect finishes.
Notable Features
Teak often has a characteristic oily feel and golden-brown color; neither can be confirmed clearly here.
