Rhodesian Teak
Rhodesian Teak is one of the densest and most durable timbers available. The colour is deep and architectural — it reads as a statement material in any space. It is not the most common choice, but for clients who want something that will outlast everything else in the kitchen, it is often where the conversation ends.
Deep reddish-brown to dark chocolate
Working properties
Origin Southern Africa
Tone Deep reddish-brown to dark chocolate
Grain Fine and interlocked — very dense

Finishing this species
