Workability
Plantation Teak is famous for having a high silica content which wreak havoc on edge tools. Despite this fact, it works well with hand and power tools. There is also a lot of oil present which can cause problems with glues or finishes adhering. A quick wipe with a solvent like denatured alcohol prior to gluing or finishing usually helps.
Uses
Plantation Teak is often used for ship and boatbuilding as well as furniture making and turning.
