African Teak Wood Timber

The African teak is found only in dry areas of semi-deciduous forests. Resembling other teaks, the African teak has brown, green or yellow-brown bark and a straight grain. Being densely grained it resists varying weather conditions and doesn't swell or shrink. The high natural oil content continually preserves the wood and it stays very natural in different environments. The timber from this tree is used for boat building, joinery, flooring and decorative veneers. It is considered a suitable alternative to other threatened teaks within the timber industry.
