WOOD PROFILE
CHARACTERISTICS
Naturally rich in oils, Indonesian Teak is highly resistant to moisture, decay and pests, making it sought after for both indoor and outdoor furniture. Teak is also valued for its durability that comes from its high density.
GRAIN
The grains are generally straight, occasionally revealing wavy or interlocked patterns as well as dark streaks that add dimensional beauty. While the texture is slightly coarse, the wood’s rich natural oils impart a smooth and waxy finish.
SIZE
The Tectona grandis tree grows 30 to 40m tall and 1.5m wide. Slabs from 1.4 to 3m suit dining or conference tables. Pair with Sawyer benches at 1.3, 1.5, and 1.7m, or Ralph benches from 1.2 to 1.8m. Indonesian teak also comes in root cuts for side or coffee tables.

JOINT TYPES
We offer a range of joinery styles to highlight the character of each wood slab. Explore the full descriptions and real examples below.
BOOKMATCHED
Bookmatching creates wider Indonesian Teak slabs. By joining consecutive cuts from the same tree, the beautifully mirrored grain patterns create a harmonious, balanced design. This refined technique positions bookmatched slabs between Hexo and Single slabs in terms of value.

ODETTE
Odette slabs are crafted from carefully selected remnants of larger Indonesian Teak slabs. At Grey & Sanders, we repurpose these offcuts into bespoke pieces - perfect for coffee tables, side tables, or benches. Each piece is rich in character, adding warmth and individuality to your space.

SOLID TEAK
Our Indonesian Teak slabs are pure solid wood sourced from trees. Unlike engineered wood which is bound together with fibres and chemicals, solid teak showcases its natural beauty through straight grains with occasional dark streaks.
With refinishing, Indonesian Teak can be restored to look as good as new, while engineered wood is susceptible to scratches and stains. Durable and resilient, solid teak slabs last for generations.
CAPENTER'S OUTDOOR CHOICE
Renowned for its natural oils and smooth, waxy finish, Indonesian Teak is the carpenter’s top choice for fine outdoor furniture.
Resistant to moisture and pests, it weathers time gracefully. Perfect for balconies, patios and gardens, our teak tables and benches bring lasting comfort and charm to your outdoor spaces.
CRAFT MEETS CARE
Each slab is carefully finished by our craftsmen, its surface sanded to a gentle touch before receiving a coat of Rubio Monocoat Oil.
The result - a natural matte finish that honors the wood’s natural beauty. Step into our workshop and be part of the journey behind your bespoke furniture.
