Teak and Mahogany Wood

Our furniture is made from number one grade Teak or kiln-dried Mahogany wood. We also us reclaimed wood to prevent warping and cracking. Our wood is absent of knots and swirls.

Teak is an extremely durable hardwood. It requires little care and no preservatives or treatment of any kind to protect it from the elements. Natural teak will gradually weather to a handsome silver gray color if left outdoors.

To maintain the color you will need to oil the furniture approximately three times each year. Teak does not require oiling. For a lower maintenance finish, consider using a high quality teak sealer. Seal will usually last an entire year without needing re-application.

It is better to use true teak oil - do NOT use "finish". This is available from a store which would stock boating and marine supplies (teak oil is used extensively on boats).

All of our Mahogany Wood is kiln dried to a moisture content of 6 - 8%. This process is vastly superior to Air Drying offered by others. Kiln Drying ensures wood dryness at the core (not just the surface) and therefore eliminates or reduces checking, cracking, splitting and warpage.

Our reclaimed wood comes from homes older than 50 years that have been torn down. This type of wood is equal in quality to our Kiln dried wood. It has aged to a very low moisture content. We only supply reclaimed wood on request.
