Teak is one of the main export items of Myanmar,
there are continuous efforts
to build up a down- stream timber industry in Myanmar but
for this it
needs investment and this is done only
on small scale. Many species like
teak, padauk / rosewood, ironwood etc. pine trees from
the Himalayas in the north are exported. Before you
invest in teak outdoor furniture, you should
invest some time in understanding where it
comes from and how to make
an informed purchase decision. teak or Tectona grandis is a deciduous (annual)
hardwood tree indigenous to the dry, hilly
terrains of Southeast Asia and South
America.
Teak is extremely dense-grained and highly
resistant to decay, warping, shrinkage and
swelling. These characteristics make teak
furniture extremely durable. Teak has a high
natural oil content which acts as a natural
preservative, allowing furniture made from
teak wood to be left outdoors for
decades.
How durable is teak' Early sailing
ships were often made from teak, which were
impervious to a maritime environment (salt
water, rain, high winds). In fact, the many
of the first outdoor teak benches were made
of recycled decking from old sailing ships.
Public parks in England boast recycled teak
benches many of which are nearly
centuries old, as England had one of the first
modern navy and a lot of teak wood was
recycled from those ships.
Teak wood ages
gracefully, kind of like Sofia Loren or Paul
Newman. If left to the elements, teak
develops a silver grayish coloring which,
over time can be left as is or revived to
its original patina by light sanding and the

application of a
little teak oil. Teak furniture manufacturing is usually done in three categories:
handmade, semi-machine made, or fully machine made,
in Myanmar teak furniture and other items are always
semi machine made. |

Contrary to popular belief, the words "handmade" and
"furniture" do not go well together when it comes to
teak outdoor furniture.
Handmade means just
that: handmade. An “teak factory” that
makes manufactures handmade furniture looks an awful
lot like a rural village with "artisians" sitting
around in their yards whittling. This may look good
in those home-made vacation videos or as
neighborhood barbeque conversation, but home made
means less than perfect teak furniture.
Handmade furniture and teak interior decoration may feature "character" or
"unique detailing" but no two will
look precisely alike. Handmade teak is probably the
cheapest that money can buy, since southeast Asia boasts some of
the cheapest labor around. Thailand teak always come
from Myanmar this days.
Semi-machine made furniture is produced using power
tools in a factory. Cuts and bores are more
precise although pieces are ultimately fitted by
hand. A skilled and experienced furniture maker,
with the proper training and experience can produce
very legitimate semi-machine products with a higher
degree of uniformity than handmade. Of course,
semi-machine |
|
|
made furniture is more
expensive to produce than handmade furniture but is
almost always worth the difference.
Full machine factories exclusively use power
equipment, tooling, dies and processes intended to
take the guess work out of the manufacturing
process. Two exact pieces of teak furniture made
from a full machine factory will be
indistinguishable from one another and looks more
"expensive".

-Teak
Is One Of The Most Durable And Beautiful Wood Material In The World.
Teak is a tropical hardwoods with scientific
tag of Tectona. It is a hardwood ingrained to South and Southeast Asia
and is normally part of a monsoon jungle, maturing on low hills, far away from
the shore line. Teak is a deciduous tree, releasing its leaves in the waterless
season and is not included in a tropical rainforest.

A teak
tree
is a large one and will easily grow 30
to 40 meters tall. Teak has a big
concentration of oils and minerals,
causing the wood to be waxy and
flexible. This makes a wood that is
water resistant and insect resistant, as
well as a strong, straight grain to
resist bending. Teak is usually honey to
mocha brown, however it can have a
reddish hue. If it remains raw and bare
to the elements, it can dim to a silvery
gray, though a yearly oil treatment can
keep it's natural complexion. Teak is
ingrained to Thailand, Myanmar , Malaysia,
The Philippines, India and south America.
Teak has been utilized for over two thousand years and is noted in poetry
from that century. Teak logs last forever as the main structural
component in buildings centuries old in Myanmar, India, Thailand and also in
very old temples. This shows the amazing function of Teak to last when
stressed is placed on it. Teak was a major 18th Century
export for China, where flooring,
cabinets, paneling and multiple other
wood features were exported to Europe.
Teak was frequently used for art
objects, though the strong wood made
this a difficult process, needing a lot
of resharpening of
tools. Later in the Victorian Era, this was greatly overcome and Teak art
creations became more main stream.
The durability and salt water resistance made Teak especially valuable
for ships, and beyond World War I, when numerous used warships were
being discarded, the crews were hit by the good condition of the Teak
decking and determined to save the wood. Much of it became lawn furniture,
making the tradition of teak outdoor furniture. The Royal Navy was not the
only one using Teak; the unique characteristics of this wood made it sought
after worldwide among ship builders in the sailing age. There is an
momentous whaling ship, the Charles W. Morgan, held in Mystic Seaport,
Connecticut that was constructed in 1841 and had hard miles with many
worldwide journeys but still looks like new. |

The continuous increasing ease of Teak building led to Teak becoming a
enormous component of furniture, well excepted as beautiful and durable.
This furniture is now undergoing a renaissance in popularity and authentic
Teak furniture from this time is very excepted with collectors and others.
In addition too being heavily manufactured in Indonesia where Dutch traders
grew tree ranches in 1816. Perum Perhutani, an organization of the
Indonesian Government, monitors the tree ranches today. They strictly
monitor trees taken and new harvests to only keep extremely high quality
wood. Experiments have exhibited that Indonesia Teak can grow twenty meters
in fifteen years. Today Indonesia and Myanmar or Burma, are the world's
largest exporters of Teak.
