Our core business is in Australia and our teak (Tectonis grandis), is one of the worlds premier hardwood timbers. It is famous for its mellow colour, fine grain and durability. It occurs naturally only in Thailand, India, Myanmar and Laos. It's also well established in tropical Asia, as well as tropical Africa. It's also been introduced into a number of other countries at trial levels.

The durability and workability of teak was recognized many centuries ago, leading to it's widespread distribution and cultivation throughout the tropics. Today teak ranks as the premier hardwood for use in extreme conditions and in the production of fine furniture and intricate carvings, there is nothing better.

Most furniture can be crafted from reclaimed teak. Unfortunately there are many unscrupulous operators who rather than take the time and effort to source widely available reclaimed teak plunder already dangerously low reserves of new teak for quick profits.

Their conscience allows them to use new growth teak which is machine lathed and then screwed and glued. It takes a craftsman to use reclaimed teak and they are a scarce resource. We operate an apprentice scheme and sponsor our new apprentices and encourage them to learn traditional skills in order to secure their future and ours.
