What kind of teak do we use? Like most
lumber, teak comes in various grades. Ours is ungraded and would be considered
a low grade by furniture makers, in fact, unsuitable for construction
applications. This is because our artisans look for stumps, burls, and
large-sized rejects of the teak industry. Not only does this save you money,
but it is also where teak best showcases its elegant swirling grain
structure. This is also our concession to the environmental causes that
seek to reduce the cutting of the rain forests where some teak comes from. See
our Environmental Statement for more on that.
Our teak choices come with compromises. The teak is more likely to have
voids (which of course we fill) and cracks (which are easy to repair). And it
is a little harder to work (but our artisans have the experience to handle
that). We look at this proudly as the result of choices to use the
most beautiful teak available, and to keep our world beautiful, too. |
