Teak wood is found predominantly in Asia and in particular, the country of Myanmar (Burma). A large, deciduous tree, Teak has small, fragrant white flowers and papery leaves. Valuable for it's durability, Teak has been milled and fashioned into boat hulls, due to it's durability, water resistance and ability to withstand almost every weather condition.
Here's an image of the largest Teak bridge in the world, not surprisingly, it's in Myanmar (U Bein Bridge - Amarapura).

On a recent job, Nathan found himself faced with the task of stripping and re-oiling a large expanse of Teak flooring. It had been quite a while since the floor had seen natural daylight and as such it was a joy to see the reveal. Using only the best products, that thick, oily surface gave way to a rich, golden base and later yielded to an enhancing re-oil.

Teak has that wonderful, mottled grain that's toned and allows for light to almost dance off it, so when you have the opportunity to sand and enhance your floor, make the most of it, oh and always call the professionals.
