Selecting the Right Teak Wood

Be Aware:
African Teak Wood vs American Teak Wood

Aspect African Teak Wood American Teak Wood
Source Tanzania, Sudan, Nigeria, Liberia, Ghana, Benin, Togo Brazil, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia
Quality Less chance of bend, crack, twist, or weight loss due to higher oil content More chance of bend, crack, twist, weight loss due to drying and water content behavior
Price Affordable with different quality levels; price higher than American teak Lower price with various quality levels
Content More oil content, less water; grown in warm equatorial regions near deserts More water content, less oil; grown in cooler, icy climates

It is difficult and may not be possible to physically differentiate between African and American teak wood, as both look similar in color, texture, and grain. Due to this similarity, American teak is sometimes sold as Ghana teak or under other African native names.

To ensure the genuineness of the product, ask for a Certificate of Origin (COO) that specifies the source of import.

With over two decades of experience, we find that African teak offers an edge over similarly priced alternatives, with significantly fewer complaints.
