Sawn Timber
Teak is truly the standard of excellence for all yachts. For centuries, boat builders have prized the wood’s unique characteristics.
Teak is prized for its golden color, dark markings and straight grain. Although coarse in texture, it is smooth to the touch and has virtually no raised grain.
Teak also surpasses all other woods for any outdoor use. This is because of the natural oils in tectona grandis, or true teak, which eliminate the need for preservatives and sealants.
