Tectona grandis is the Latin name for TEAK
WOOD, a hardwood of the family Verbenaceae. Characteristics of the teak
tree and its location. Tectona Grandis is said to be indigenous to India,
Burma, Thailand, Indochina and Java Indonesia. It has been extensively planted
for timber or as an ornamental within its natural range and throughout the
tropical regions of the world, including East and West Africa, as well as
Cuba and the Caribbean, and South America from Panama to Brazil.
Tectona grandis, is not a timber from tropical rain forests, and indeed, teak
wood cannot grow in rain forests - it is a deciduous tree which grows
particularly well in the dry, hilly terrain typical of plantation forests
in Southeast Asia.
Specifically in Java Indonesia, Perum Perhutani is the government agency which
is responsible for managing Indonesia's extensive forests and plantations.
Java has very large Teak Wood plantations which
were first planted by the Dutch in the early 1800's. These plantations are
now well managed by Perum Perhutani.
Perum Perhutani operate a strict policy regulating the number and size of
trees which can be felled, as well as with regard to the numbers of trees
which are replanted to maintain the productivity of the teak forests for future
generations. The teak plantations produce a high value crop that is a very
valuable source of income in their local area. And the associated furniture
and timber products industry provides regular local employment to many thousands
of people.

When plantation grown the tree will attain a height
of up to 45m [150ft] with a dia. 1 - 1.5m [3 - 5ft]. It will be ready for
harvesting at around 50 - 60 years. If well maintained the tree can produce
a clear stem of up to 30m in length giving a high timber yield. It produces
a very large leaf similar to a tobacco leaf which is around 12" long
and wide.
Characteristics of teak wood.
Teak is an extremely dense [40lbs cu ft when dry] coarse grained hardwood.
Teak wood is generally straight grained, but occasionally wavy. It has a coarse
and uneven texture. The wood contains a high level of silica which causes
rapid blunting of cutting edges. When fresh cut the surface of the wood is
dull in appearance, and the timber has a distinctive, pleasantly aromatic
odor which has been likened to the smell of leather. Fresh sawn teak has a
slightly 'oily' feel due to the high oil content.
One of the most commonly quoted facts about the characteristics of teak is
its durability. It is resistant to rot caused by fungal decay, and the high
level of resinous oil present in the timber helps to act as a natural insect
repellent giving the timber very high resistance to attack by termites and
other wood boring insects. The timber is said to be resistant to water and
many chemical reagents, including acids. It does not have a strong reaction
when it comes in contact with metals.
All these statements regarding the durability of teak are born out by the
fact that we can see many instances of the timber which have withstood the
test of time when used as key components in the boat building industry, or
more sedately when used for making municipal furniture for our parks. All
our Teak Furniture is manufactured from
genuine Teak.
