Teak Dimensional Lumber for Boat Building and Outdoor Furniture Projects in Kiln-Dried Hardwood

Teak dimensional lumber provides stable, workable hardwood for boat building and outdoor furniture projects. Its natural resistance to rot and decay makes it a practical choice for woodwork exposed to outdoor conditions.

Golden to medium brown heartwood and a coarse texture give each piece its own character. The kiln-dried stock works well for turning, gluing, staining and finishing, while grain generally runs straight to slightly wavy along the longest dimension. Natural oils may require wiping the wood before gluing or finishing.
