Collection: Teak (real teak)

Teak wood from northern Thailand and Myanmar grows slowly in harsh environments, slowly accumulating oils, and has strong anti-corrosive, water-resistant, anti-rot, and insect-repellent properties, with little shrinkage and a beautiful, dense wood grain, so it has been prized as one of the world's three most precious woods, along with Brazilian rosewood and Honduran mahogany. Teak wood from this region is harvested using a special method called "rolling dry" that takes 3 to 5 years to drain the water from the tree while it is still standing, making it very suitable for processing. This method also gives it the name "dry teak." Teak wood has been used as a material for Scandinavian and high-end furniture, but its population has drastically decreased and it has become extremely rare and valuable. Currently, the teak wood in circulation is mainly "Indonesian teak" artificially cultivated in Java, Indonesia, but it grows quickly and is harvested while still young, so it is inferior in beauty of grain and durability.
