Teak wood is known as one of the best woods in the country. Many teak wood sold in the market does not pay attention to its quality. As a result, there are many teaks of inferior quality.
In order not to be wrong in choosing wood , let’s follow the guidelines for choosing a good teak:
- Of course the age of the wood must be really old, because old wood has very good strength and durability.
- Make sure the wood pores look solid. Dense pores make wood more durable and durable against pests such as termites.
- Good quality teak wood is characterized by a darker color (reddish brown) and evenly distributed throughout the wood.
- There is no dead eye on the wood, because the dead eye indicates the wood has a high potential for cracking / cracking.
- No cork tissue/wooden heart. Generally, the appearance of the heart on wood is shaped like a long line (njlaret) and if it is released it will cause scars that can damage the beauty of teak wood.
- No holes. Hollow wood identifies the attack of the totor or sawdust beetle. In addition, the wood holes make the resulting product look less attractive.
- Does not have sapwood. However, for 3% of the presence of sapwood, teak is still considered a good teak.
These are some of the characteristics of teak that must be considered to ensure production quality. Get a variety of quality wood at NIF Internasional, Now !.
