Lightly Sanded, Uncoated Teak Plank Table

2”thick x 48”wide x 18’ long

There is no place else where you can find contiguous 18’ planks of old growth teak. This teak was harvested from Burma’s forests around the time Teddy Roosevelt became president in 1901. By that time the wood had already matured in the forests north of Rangoon for the better part of 100 years. This is heirloom teak-which does not grow anymore-not because it can’t but because humans don’t let it. We salvaged these 2”thick by 8”wide by 18’ long teak boards from the structural frame of a defunct granary built by the British around 1902-1908. Rather than cut them up, we’ve made tables unique in the world today. We’ve put a light matte-clear coating on some and left others natural. We lightly sanded each plank to insure against splinters and left all of the original character. We have five of these in the USA. Three have optional metal frames attached with trapezoid black steel legs. If requested, we can fill holes either with clear epoxy or teak plugs. Contact us for more details.
