Can someone tell me the differences (properties) of the following species of teak?
2. Brazilian Teak (Cumaru)
3. South American Teak (Tatajuba)
4. African Teak (Iroko)
5. Bacuri Teak
6. Rhodesian Teak (Baikiaea Plurijuga)
Answers:
property is right....answers are in front of you in your question.Burma,Brazil,Africa..... is a soft teak and hard teak....both good for woodworking. Soft is like yellow pine(better quality due to closer grain); the other is like cherry.
Soft teak was used in battleships and warships with larger guns on the decks to absorb the shock of gunfire.Both are expensive to buy though...remember...property?.... tax....but whatever is built look beautiful and lasts.
