Teak Burmese Wood Veneer Information

What can be said about Burmese Teak accept, has anybody purchased Teak lumber lately? If that isn't an eye opener I do not know what the heck is! Maybe if the Myanmar Military Regime concentrated more on forestry and the benefits they and the people of Burma might realize by establishing Teak plantations and less on the "heroin trade", they might actually begin to be recognized as a legitimate governing body and really good Teak wouldn't be so hard to come by. Fortunately, the people of Burma have perhaps the best Teak on the planet. Unfortunately, the junta most likely reaps the benefits of its popularity. Despite the fact that Teak is indigenous to India, Thailand, Java, Indochina and Burma the most popular in the US is Burmese. Its uses here in the states seems to be limited to decorative and the boat building trades so we do not consume much in comparison to many other species. I have read that plantation Teak trees reportedly get up to 150 feet (45m) in height and they can be ready for harvest in 60 years. If you can't wait that long or it's just too expensive you can try Afrormosia, Kindal, Iroko, Freijo or Ltauba as a substitute. We can help you with Afrormosia, Iroko and Teak.
