Burma Teak
Myanmar
The benchmark hardwood. Oily, stable, naturally durable, ages to honey.
We buy at origin and grade every log ourselves.
This is where the business started in 1970 and it is still the heart of it. We buy logs at origin in Burma, Africa, Indonesia and Malaysia, inspect and grade them before purchase, and season and treat everything before it is sold. Wholesale and retail, one plank or a container.
